520    This book compares perspectives on gender equality and 
       diversity in Norway and Japan, focusing on family, 
       education, media and technology, sexuality and 
       reproduction, and literature as seen through a gendered 
       lens. What can we learn from a comparison between two 
       countries who stand in significant contrast to each other 
       with respect to gender equality? Norway and Japan differ 
       in terms of historical, cultural and socioeconomic 
       backgrounds. Most importantly, Japan lags far behind 
       Norway when it comes to the World Economic Forum's Gender 
       Gap Report. Rather than taking a narrow approach which 
       takes as its starting point the assumption that Norway has
       so much "more" to offer in terms of gender equality, the 
       authors attempt to show that a comparative perspective of 
       two countries in the West and East can be of mutually 
       benefit to both contexts in the advancement of gender 
       equality. The interdisciplinary team of researchers 
       contributing to this book cover a range of contemporary 
       topics in gender equality and diversity including; 
       fatherhood and masculinity, teaching and learning in 
       Gender Studies education, cultural depictions of gender, 
       technology, trans experiences and feminism. This unique 
       collection is suitable for researchers and students in 
       gender studies, sociology, Japan Studies and European 
       Studies
