Exploring the experiences of 1406\r\nstudents (770 women, 636 men) of a university with a WGS\r\nrequirement across all study programmes, we examine the\r\nprevailing discourses on WGS, participants’ (dis)agreement as well\r\nas personal and professional benefits gained through WGS.\r\nAdditionally, we evaluate the perceived value of WGS for\r\nthemselves, in society, and of WGS opportunities in higher\r\neducation. Findings reveal a gender bias regarding discourses,\r\nexperience, benefit, and value, with 70.1% women and 32.4% men\r\nsupporting the idea of WGS as a mandatory subject. Women’s\r\nsupport indicates a need for tools to negotiate gender issues,\r\nwhile men’s resistance serves to defend male privileges. We\r\nconclude that a requirement of WGS classes amplifies the\r\npotential for both – resistance and change." author: - first_name: Ilona full_name: Horwath, Ilona last_name: Horwath - first_name: Christian full_name: Diabl, Christian last_name: Diabl citation: ama: Horwath I, Diabl C.
