  text: ABSTRACT In recent years, there has been an increasing awareness of the importance
    of incorporating diversity into research projects, focusing on both how they are
    conducted and their content. Funding organizations have started to require that
    research applicants pay attention to inclusion and diversity by considering gender
    dimensions and other diversity factors in their project plans and ensuring gender
    equality during execution. Based on an extensive literature research and expert
    discussions on how to develop and implement diversity strategies in large collaborative
    research projects, we argue that there is a lack of practical advice in existing
    literature. Drawing from our own experiences in conceptualizing and implementing
    a Diversity Program across four universities in Germany, we propose a framework
    for effectively integrating diversity into collaborative research initiatives
    across various academic fields.

  text: "This article offers new insight into students’ responses to Womens’\r\nand
    Gender Studies (WGS) classes by overcoming the self-selection\r\nbias hitherto
    inherent in the field. 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."
