In this episode, Trine Askholm interviews co-writer of the book and Gender Researcher, Lea Skewes, from University of Southern Denmark and Anette Borchorst, who is Professor Emeritus in Political Gender Research from Aalborg University. As a listener, you will get to know that there has always been sexual harassment. It was not until the 1970's that a concept was invented in the U.S. Only then could the phenomenon be addressed in a holistic way. After almost three decades of trying to break through with the knowledge about sexual harassment and sexism came the Metoo movement and things started rolling. The Metoo Movement has influenced the debate and conversation about sexual harassment. With the Metoo debate people have begun to realize that we have a problem – worldwide and here in Denmark. You will learn more about solving the structural problems of sexism and sexual harassment. You will get to know that victims often feel very alone with their experiences. And that many victims think others assume that “you probably let it happen”. Trine Askholm asks Skewes and Borchorst questions on: Can we accept flirting at work?Do we in Denmark have rules to protect the victims or their violators?Who is responsible for sexism and sexual harassment?Is there a difference between your rights being employed or volunteering in an organization?Do you know what to do if you experience sexism or if you witness sexism at your workplace?In the end of the episode, we look into more vignettes, dealing with examples of everyday sexism, sexual harassment with sexual undertones. With the vignettes we get insights into what happens to individuals who face everyday sexism repeatedly, and the fear of damaging their own careers if one draws attention to the problem. The episode includes talk about what happens when the issue of quotas is brought up among colleagues. The guests also discuss the myth “she probably got the job because she is a woman”. Guests: Lea Skewes, Postdoc Gender Researcher at University of Southern Denmark, and Anette Borchorst Professor Emeritus in Political Gender Research from Aalborg University.
