The Faculty of Earth Sciences, Geography and Astronomy in cooperation with the Doctoral School VISESS and the UNIVIE - Gender Equality and Diversity Unit warmly invites all interested faculty members and alumni*ae to discuss the topic of Gender and Diversity at our Faculty: Watch the documentary “Picture a Scientist” online and join us for a panel discussion on 24 May 2022!

    with Petra Heinz, Sylwia Bukowska, Chi Zhang, Elisabeth Aufhauser, and Christine Ackerl


“When you asked somebody to draw a scientist, it used to be all men”: The documentary “Picture a Scientist” critically analyses the many faces of “male culture” in North American (natural) sciences, persisting problems as well as positive developments, and discusses possible solutions.

  • How do the problems depicted in this documentary relate to the situation at our Faculty? Which problems do female scientists and members of minorities face at FGGA?
  • How to address these problems on different scales? Which solutions have already been implemented successfully? What did not work out?
  • Which alternative ways could you imagine? What are the major difficulties to be encountered?

Discuss these and other questions with interested members of our Faculty and the UNIVIE - Gender Equality and Diversity Unit!
