Let's Talk About the (Stalled) Gender Revolution

Welcome Prof. Dr. Pia Schober, who brings us a sociological perspective on our field of research!

Pia is a professor at the University of Tübingen, where she leads the Chair of Microsociology in the Department of Sociology and is also part of our IRTG 2804. As an expert on gender-specific and social inequalities focusing on the impact of childcare and education policies, Pia talks about historic and current trends of the gender revolution in this podcast. Why does the gender revolution seem to be stalling? Is there a "paradox in women's well-being" - and how could we explain it?

Listen to explore a different perspective and gather food for thought to start a discussion in your circles too!
