Abstract [en]

This chapter reports on a case study of a Swedish University, appointed the most gender equal university in Sweden. With the highest percentage of women professors in Swedish academia (35%) and a gender balance in senior academic management positions, it has received recognition for its achievements when it comes to quantitative gender equality. Drawing on interviews with key informants and official documents, the chapter explores how this university managed to establish and maintain a gendered agenda. The analysis uses a theoretical framework about gendered organizations and gender equality practices to explore how gender was undone in relation to structure, culture, interaction and identity.
