SUMMARY:SDG Library Launch: Towards Gender Equality
DESCRIPTION:\n\n\n\n\n\nHow do societal norms and stereotypes impact how 
 men and women are treated at the VU? How does the education system 
 contribute to the reinforcement of gender stereotypes and inequality? In 
 what ways can individuals and the organization actively work towards 
 achieving gender equality?\n\nWe cordially invite you to the launch of the 
 Sustainable Development Goals Library. The first event in the upcoming 
 meeting series will be dedicated to Gender Equality\, SDG 5.\n\nThe 
 Sustainable Development Goals Library is a thematic collection of books 
 dedicated to Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Through this project\, 
 the VU Library contributes to SDGs by creating space for books and 
 conversations related to the topic and making (scientific) literature on 
 subjects more accessible and visible at the VU campus.\n\nDuring the 
 event\, we will look at gender equality from different angels\; while 
 Renée-Andrée Koornstra will talk about Gender Equality at the VU nowadays 
 and the goals for the future\, Pieta van Beek will put things into 
 historical perspective by talking about Anna Maria van Schurman (1636)\, 
 the first female university student in the Netherlands. The manuscripts by 
 Anna Maria van Schurman owned by the VU Library\, take one into 
 seventeenth-century discussions of the equality of men and women and their 
 appropriate roles in society.\n\nBringing together the present and the past 
 is meant to help us take a broader view of gender equality and to inspire 
 us to move towards a more just and resilient world 
 together.\n\nAgenda\n\n12:00 - 12:10 Grab your lunch and get
