What Do We Mean by Gender Equality?
Gender equality is a major issue, both in our culture and in a wide variety of biblical texts. By surveying college students of various backgrounds and experiences, I am investigating how college students of various educational backgrounds define gender equality and whether they believe we have or will achieve it. My research will result in better understanding of the perceived meanings of “gender equality,” a broader grasp of the complexity of the quest for gender equality, and therefore a more restrained view of the extent to which gender equality has been achieved. Through studying the responses and reactions of students, there will likely also be fresh ideas for moving forward toward increased gender equality.
