2022

I wish to thank everyone who has contributed to the project during the past several years! This book represents a very important part of the work, and I want to thank all the authors, especially Øystein Gullvåg Holter and Lotta Snickare, for their major efforts in producing, analyzing, and disseminating knowledge gathered from our organization. This knowledge has been compiled in such a way that it should be highly useful to others working for a gender-equal academia and working life. In addition to the authors, I wish to thank the project's administrative leaders, the project coordinators, steering committees, research groups, project participants, partners at UiO and KTH, heads of departments, and the dean's office at the MN faculty. Additionally, many thanks to the Research Council of Norway, which has funded and followed the project with great enthusiasm. I hope the readers of this book will find the project and research findings interesting. I also hope that the book can contribute to the important work of change currently happening in Norway and other countries! Professor Solveig Kristensen, Dean of the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences and project leader of FRONT, University of Oslo Oslo, 1 November 2022 The most significant findings presented in in the first part of the book are further analyzed and discussed in the book's second part. The third part addresses measures for and solutions to the problems. This first part consists of the following chapters: Chapter one "Gender-Equal Imbalance?" introduces the faculty as a workplace, and explores the different perceptions of gender equality and gender balance among women and men. Chapter two "Men, Masculinities and Professional Hierarchies" addresses gender and equality focusing on men, and how academic prestige is connected with masculinity. Chapter three "Sexual Harassment: Not an Isolated Problem" describes the extent of sexual harassment, and the most common aspects of the work environment connected with this problem. Chapter four "Who Is Publishing What? How Gender Influences Publication" addresses questions regarding scientific productivity, focusing on whether women publish less than men and if so, why. Chapter five "Experiences in Academia: A New Survey Study" describes and summarizes one of the main findings of the study: a gender gap in terms of experiences and obstacles in one's career. Chapter six "Ethnicity, Racism and Intersectionality" looks at diversity and social imbalance from a broader perspective, not only gender balance. The chapter focuses on ethnicity and how various dimensions such as gender, ethnicity and class are entwined.

Professor, Yale Law School. This Article has been a long tune in the making; it was conceived as part of my earlier work on job segregation by sex. As a consequence of its long gestation. I will no doubt forget to thank many friends and colleagues whose conversations have encouraged me and enriched my thinking. I would like to express my appreciation--and admiration-for the numerous women who have shared with me their stories of struggle, demoralization, and triumph as they endeavored to pursue their life's work in settings where they were unwelcome or underappreciated. Demce Denton has been a particular inspiration. I am grateful also for thoughtful comments from participants at the Yale Law School
