We would like to invite you to the next event hosted by the CLBO: Family-Friendly University Policies in Germany and the USA

• Presentation and discussion at Goethe University Frankfurt
• Guest speaker: Professor Heather Hofmeister, Frankfurt, Germany
• Date: 07. February, 6.30pm – 8.00pm
• Location: Goethe University Frankfurt, Mertonstraße 17, Raum H 201 A

There is a lot of discussion in the media and in university administration about family-friendliness of universities. These discussions are taking place on both sides of the Atlantic, and have been for years. In my talk, I present a 20-year overview of the ways Americans are measuring the family-friendliness of their universities, and with what results. Ironically, despite the higher rates of women in science in the USA compared to Germany, and the higher rates of childbirth to academics in the USA compared to Germany, Germans have an enormous family-friendly policy advantage over Americans. We'll discuss what that irony is and what its causes may be. Target audience: The presentation is targeted at an audience of practitioners and scientists in the domain of human resource management and related fields. The event is supported by the Center for Leadership and Behavior in Organizations and free of charge.

The female leadership advantage: An evaluation of the evidence

• Presentation and discussion at Goethe University Frankfurt
• Guest speaker: Professor Alice Eagly, Northwestern University, Evanston, USA
• Date: 13. December, 6.30pm – 8.00pm
• Location: Goethe University Frankfurt, Grüneburgplatz 1, Hörsaalzentrum, Raum HZ 7

Are people prejudiced against women as leaders? Do women lead differently than men? Are women better leaders than men? Do we need a quota for women to insure equal opportunity for women as managers? These and related questions have recently sparked a controversial debate in the media and politics. To promote a more evidence-based discussion, we have invited one of the leading re- searchers in this field, Professor Alice Eagly from Northwestern University, Evanston, USA, who is currently the Metro Fellow at the American Academy in Berlin. Professor Eagly has led research on gender and leadership for more than 20 years and has published over a hundred ar- ticles in top academic journals and seven books on leadership and other social psy- chological topics. She is a leading expert in this domain and an inspiring speaker. In her presentation she will provide an up-to-date overview of the available evidence. Timeline:

• 6.30pm – 7.30pm     Presentation by Professor Eagly
• 7.30pm – 8.00pm     Q&A session and discussion with the audience
• 8.00pm                   Get-together: Stand-up reception for further discussion

Target audience: The presentation is targeted at an audience of practitioners and scientists in the domain of human resource management and related fields. The event is supported by the Center for Leadership and Behavior in Organizations and free of charge. To register for the event please send an email to m.cherniak@clbo-frankfurt.org.
