Resistances to structural change in gender equality

This toolkit by Lucy Ferguson and Lut Mergaert is based on the collaborative efforts of a range of H2020 structural change projects – particularly SUPERA, GE Academy, Gender-SMART and GEARING-Roles. The purpose of the document is to provide practical support for those implementing structural change in research and innovation institutions.

The document is developed in three main sections: categorising and theorising resistances, common guidelines for dealing with resistances, and the resistances toolkit. An associated repository documents the kinds of resistances experienced in implementing structural change, as well as techniques for dealing with different kinds of resistances.
