Dean's blog: Gender equality – not just for show
– Published 5 October 2016
LTH is one of the faculties at Lund University that is considered to be single-gendered. This discussion focuses mainly on the number of female professors – a figure that at LTH is around 15 per cent, although the proportions vary greatly within the faculty. Obviously, we are not happy with this number; on the contrary, we will do our best to raise it. We must become more active and reflective in our calls for applications for vacant posts, and improve our recruitment process. However, there is no quick solution to this problem; rather, we must begin our efforts at an earlier stage – with our associate senior lecturers and doctoral students.
