Transatlantic Research on Gender Equity Training (TARGET): Restructuring of Modern Knowledge Economies and Management

This new project is collaborative theoretical work on how gender is taken differently into account in the restructuring of modern knowledge economies and management in three nested ares: in gender studies as a field of study; in universitites as research organizations; and in the competitive environment of academic normsetting for “excellence”.
