The data set of the article “So, yeah, that's a blind spot”

Drawing on 18 interviews with educators and (co-)heads of Fine Art programs, the data shows how gender is perceived, addressed, and often overlooked within Cultural Entrepreneurship Education (CEE) in Dutch higher education institutions (HEIs) of art and design. Despite women having long constituted the majority of students in these programs, this demographic shift has received little attention in either policy or research on CEE. the study reveals a sharp disconnect between educators' awareness of gender inequality in their life and career and the absence of the topic in their programs. This omission does not stem from disinterest but from a range of perceived structural and cultural constraints as well as a persistent belief in the neutrality of CEE.
