Gender index reveals ‘unbalanced representation’ in the entire EU tech ecosystem.

A new gender and diversity index has found “unbalanced gender representation” across the European tech ecosystem, from the classroom to the C-suite.

The GENDEX index, funded by the European Innovation Council (EIC), evaluates how women have been represented in schools and various levels of tech companies over the last decade.

New research on female video game characters uncovers a surprising twist

While strength cues in female video game characters signal capability, they don’t counteract the negative impact of sexualization. Surprisingly, female players often chose highly sexualized characters to play, despite generally disliking them.

As of the end of 2023, the percentage of women among deans has surpassed that of the previous year, rising from 29.7% to 34.1%. For the first time, over 1 in 3 deans are women. An important milestone! #GenderRepresentation #AcademicLeadership #MVH2023

![reviewed](https://www.melusinapress.lu/static/review_badges/reference_to_original_publication.svg) <br/><br/> Der Kunst- und Kulturwissenschaftler und trans* Aktivist Josch Hoenes (1972-2019) hat mit seinen Arbeiten an den Schnittstellen von Wissenschaft, Kunst, (Sub-)Kultur und Politik das noch im Entstehen begriffene Feld der Transgender Studies im deutschsprachigen Raum in den 2000er und 2010er Jahren maßgeblich mitgeprägt. Sein besonderes Interesse galt der Frage nach dem Potenzial kulturell-künstlerischer Arbeiten, in hegemoniale Repräsentationen und Wissensweisen von Geschlecht zu intervenieren und vielfältige (trans*-)geschlechtliche Seinsweisen denk- und lebbarer werden zu lassen. Mit der Wiederveröffentlichung ausgewählter Texte von Josch Hoenes im vorliegenden Sammelband soll sein unvollendetes Werk gebündelt zugänglich gemacht werden, um die damit verbundenen mannigfaltigen Impulse lebendig zu halten: Impulse für die wissenschaftlichen Felder vor allem der Transgender Studies, Gender und Queer Studies, Kunst-, Kultur- und Medienwissenschaften, aber auch für einen breit angelegten Aktivismus, der politische Interventionen und das Schaffen von Räumen und Netzwerken ebenso umfasst wie künstlerisches Wirken als Kritik und Utopie. Gerahmt werden die Texte durch einen im Dialog mit ihnen entstandenen Bilderzyklus von Tomka Weiß.

Learn about the Bechdel test - a measure of gender representation in movies. Check out our latest blog post to see how Hollywood films often fail to meet its criteria. #BechdelTest #GenderRepresentation #FeministTheory https://medium.com/@dreamsounder/what-is-the-bechdel-test-ab83ed8e67a5?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon

“A movie passes the Bechdel Test if there are at least two named female characters that have a conversation with one another about something other than a man.”

This article discusses something that I wish was discussed more than just during #oscars and #awards season. It’s rare for me to read about the #bechdeltest during the awards season and even more rare when the season has passed. #genderrepresentation #film
