This DOCC is built around 7 mini-courses, representing the main thematic areas suggested by the European Commission to build a Gender Equality Plan.
The 7 different courses introduce and touch the different aspects of institutional change towards the design and implementation of a Gender Equality Plan: from a general introduction to the dimension of gender in Research & Innovation, touching the basic keys and building blocks of a GEP, until a focus on the 5 thematic areas suggested by the EC for the GEPs: work-life balance; gender in leadership and decision making; gender equality in recruitment; gender in research contents; and gender-based violence. All the courses take into account intersectionality as a cross-cutting dimension.

Her expertise in the area of gender equality and transformative organisational change is internationally acknowledged, with clients based in Australia, New Zealand, UK and Europe.

She was commissioned by Universities Australia Executive Women and the LH Martin Institute to write Mentoring for Change, a guide to establishing good practice programs across the sector. Her subsequent research examining sponsorship practices is now available as Sponsorship: Creating Career Opportunities for Women in Higher Education, published by Universities Australia Executive Women.

As a non-Aboriginal person, Tim explores, with other members of the ‘dominant culture’, what we can do to build a healthier relationship with Aboriginal people. More recently, Tim has worked with Dr Jen De Vries to bring the lessons of this Aboriginal/non-Aboriginal dialogue to the challenges and possibilities of gender partnership.
