Negotiating Gender Roles in Academia: A Courageous Exploration
Although the situation of female limnologists has improved in several aspects since the 20th century, gender-specific barriers and biases persist (Catalán et al. 2022). Unless these barriers are spotted and remedied, female scientists will remain as prominent casualties. In an effort to learn and raise awareness of the barriers and biases faced by women across the limnological community, the Gender and Science group (genderlimno.org) of the Iberian Society of Limnology (AIL) organized three activities during the 36th Congress of the International Society of Limnology (https://www.sil2022.org/) in Berlin, Germany (07–10 August 2022): (1) the workshop “Negotiating gender roles in academia—A courageous exploration”; (2) the exhibition “Women in Limnology”; and (3) the special session “Past, present and future of the herstory of limnology”. Here, we summarize the highlights and insights gained in that meeting and share what we see as the way forward.

| Summary: | Although the situation of female limnologists has improved in several aspects since the 20th century, gender-specific barriers and biases persist (Catalán et al. 2022). Unless these barriers are spotted and remedied, female scientists will remain as prominent casualties. In an effort to learn and raise awareness of the barriers and biases faced by women across the limnological community, the Gender and Science group (genderlimno.org) of the Iberian Society of Limnology (AIL) organized three activities during the 36th Congress of the International Society of Limnology (https://www.sil2022.org/) in Berlin, Germany (07–10 August 2022): (1) the workshop “Negotiating gender roles in academia—A courageous exploration”; (2) the exhibition “Women in Limnology”; and (3) the special session “Past, present and future of the herstory of limnology”.
