Despite efforts to promote women leadership, women have remained underrepresented in academic and administrative leadership in universities. One of the factors is related to women's heavier burden at home. This seminar invites seven academics to reflect on structural gender inequalities at  work, how men could take proactive steps to have equal share of childcare work, how gender equity in the domestic realm will empower women  in their career development, as well as women's strategies to negotiate for more gender equitable division of childcare work  at home.
