The Gendered North-South University Collaboration: Experiences and visions

Abstract

The universities in the North and the South are as all institutions, gendered. That means that the ambitions of the universities reflect ideologies, which attribute different values to male and female students and teachers. These ideologies are also embodied in the various institutions, for example in the mandates of the programmes for North-South university collaboration. This article is based on our experiences from such a programme, namely the Anthropos project, financed by the Norwegian University Committee for Developing Research and Education (NUFU).
