Episode 32: Queerness at University and Anti-Discrimination in STEM – What Does Upstream Actually Do?

Ever wondered about the difference between biological sex and gender? Or did you know that women are still far less likely to obtain professorships in STEM fields than men?

In this episode, Philipp Wehage, a former Upstream organizer, talks about queerness at university and reflects on how the Upstream network supports women* throughout their studies and professional paths. He also shares why expanding our perspectives is essential, both within academia and beyond.
