The Advancement of Women at the JKU.

All the way from the university's inception to the present day.

Established at the JKU in the summer of 1993, the "Office for Women's Research and Women's Studies" celebrated its 30th anniversary in 2023. The occasion is an ideal opportunity to explore and review the history behind the advancement of women at the JKU.

Get involved!

Are you a prominent figure or a historical witness? Do you have photos and/or other materials about the history of (the advancement of) women at the JKU that you would like to share with us? Do you have any suggestions or comments?

We would love to hear from you!

Legal Disclosure

A number of JKU employees - not all listed here - have made, and continue to make, committed efforts to support the advancement of women at the JKU. This is in no way meant to diminish their efforts. We have deliberately chosen to focus on individual institutes and departments as it was nearly impossible to comprehensively review everyone's contributions during the project period. The Institute of Women's and Gender Studies, the Institute for Legal Gender Studies, and the Gender & Diversity Management Unit are prominently featured as they all have - and had have - significant overlaps in terms of personnel and content with the research's "initial object of study", the Office for Women's Research and Women's Studies.
