DTU Feministisk Forum

Thank you all for attending our Feminist Speedfriending event last Wednesday!!💜✨

Kick-off alert!✨
Join us for the first open meeting of DTU Feminist Forum this Thursday during lunch break. Come by, bring your lunch, meet new people, and help shape our community. Everyone is welcome!

Today marks the 10th anniversary of the International Day of Women and Girls in Science. This day highlights the importance of equal access and participation in science. Gender equality in science drives innovation, progress, and a better future for all.

In a world where gender norms shape much of our personal and professional lives, how can boys and men transcend traditional masculine stereotypes? What are the defining moments in education, work, and relationships that reinforce or challenge these norms? Join us for an engaging talk by Andreas Beck Kronborg from DareGender, where we’ll dive into the societal expectations placed on men and boys and explore how these norms shape our understanding of masculinity.

DareGender is a Danish volunteer-based organisation that engages boys and men in promoting gender equality. Their work is focused on mental well-being, violence prevention and redefining masculinities.

This talk will be followed by an open discussion, giving you the opportunity to engage directly with Andreas and other attendees in a thought-provoking Q&A session.

Whether you’re a student, member of staff, or simply interested in gender equality, this event offers a chance to reflect on the concept of masculinity, learn from others, and envision a more inclusive future.

👥 Join the conversation and help shape a more open-minded understanding of masculinity.

📍 Details: The talk will be held in English in the Skylab auditorium at DTU Lyngby Campus. Since the event starts after 5 pm, please remember to bring your DTU student card for building access.

🍵🍪 Refreshments: Tea, coffee, and a selection of salty and sweet snacks will be provided.

💡 Let’s challenge norms, share experiences, and build a supportive community. See you there!

You are probably familiar – maybe too familiar than what’s preferable – with the concept of imposter syndrome. But how is this irrational sense constituted in STEM education environments? And what allows it to persist? These questions lead to the most important: How do we convince ourselves that we belong in STEM?
🗣 Henriette Tolstrup Holmegaard is lecturer at University of Copenhagen, Phd in science education and leader of the research group “Equity in Science Education”. She is interested in the circumstances that shape young people’s choices of education and how their interest in science develops or diminishes over years.
🍪☕Join us on the 8th of April for an enlightening talk from a true expert within her field and a following discussion in a safe space, where you can participate by the degree that you feel comfortable with!
🧑‍🔬 If you sometimes experience the unpleasant feeling of imposter syndrome, you will certainly have the chance to talk to someone who recognizes the struggle – this way we ensure a confirmation of the cliché of “not being alone” 😉
