In 1992, Lower Saxony's then Minister of Science Helga Schuchardt had set up a Women's Research Commission that in 1994 presented its report with the programmatic title \"Promoting Women's Interests Means Academic Reform - Women's Research Means a Critique of Science\". A spin-off, so to speak, of this commission's was nd the idea of a women's university as an EXPO project. The 2 Lower Saxony Women's Research Commission (1995-1997) stated: \"From 15 July until 15 Oc- tober, an International Women's University is to be Q ganised offering an interdis- ciplinary, international, multimedia, postgraduate study programme\". Initially conceived as a purely research-oriented university, ijiJ evolved into an academic project for women scientists on an international scale. The ifu concept was based on the (self-) image of science as an ongoing, evolving, forward- looking research project. The unique concept of the International Women's University as an academic reform project was founded on three key principles: 1. Problem Orientation of Teaching and Research The choice of the globally relevant controversial issues Work - Information - Body - Migration - City - Water and the idea of addressing these issues from the perspective of the natural and engineering sciences, the humanities and so- cial sciences as well as art, consciously focusing on questions of practical rele- vance, gave rise to a problem-oriented, interdisciplinary approach.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sabine Kunst\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3642639615\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783642639616\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Springer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/11\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 416\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.28lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.85d","brand":"Sabine Kunst","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48519811858687,"sku":"9783642639616","price":109.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_74002194-1728-4b2c-bd03-1798fc806408.jpg?v=1778738965","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/sustainable-water-and-soil-management-sabine-kunst-9783642639616","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
