In the first part, we discussed intersectional feminism and how it relates to our work in academia. We talked about existing challenges and limitations that come within a patriarchal system, such as unequal opportunities in the education system, being seen as "too feminine and not feminine enough," the unequal distribution of unseen labor and care work in offices, difficulties with accessibility of the workplace, and many more. We also discussed substantive biases in our research field that are connected to discrimination, such as citation gaps, American-and-Eurocentric theories, and empirical work.

The second part of the workshop was about imagining a utopian academia and academic workplace. We aimed to identify some ideals that we would like to see in the academic world and workplace. By looking beyond resource limits and what others might deem realistic, we tried to paint a picture of what academia could be like.

Finally, in the third part, we broke out into smaller groups to tackle specific challenges or utopian ideas. Each group selected one specific challenge or utopia and worked on how we can overcome the challenge and get one step closer to this utopian idea. We worked on how to create higher awareness for discrimination, discussed how the funding for conferences could be made more equal, the unequal distribution of invisible work, as well as the role of competition and the pressure we feel. We ended the day by joining the protests in Vienna.

Overall, the workshop was a great success. We had engaging discussions, and it was exciting to imagine a utopian academia that is more equitable and inclusive. We are continuing these conversations and want to work towards creating a more just and equitable academic world.
