Gender Equality

The Faculty of Human Sciences is a strong advocate for gender equality. Chaired by our Women’s Representative, Prof. Dr. Carina Lüke, the Equal Opportunities Commission manages the activities we undertake to promote opportunities for female early career researchers.

The Faculty, represented by the Faculty Management and the Women's Representative, is actively committed to equal opportunities for women in science/ Academia. At the Faculty of Human Sciences, the Equal Opportunities Commission, the Faculty’s Women's Representative, Prof Dr Carina Lüke and her deputies as well as the Dean's Office employee Dr Stefanie Hoos therefore offer various services for members of the faculty.

Since 2017, JMU has been supporting members of the university who have shown outstanding commitment to promoting gender equality.
The Faculty of Human Sciences was awarded 2021 (Prof. Dr. Andrea Kübler) and 2023 (HCI Mentoring Circle).
