Deepening inequalities: What did COVID‐19 reveal about the gendered nature of academic work?
通过2020年春季对波兰28位学者的访谈,研究揭示了疫情如何加速学术工作的性别化转型,强化了性别不平等,并暴露了主要由女性承担却未被认可的无形学术劳动。
This study discusses the gendered nature of the transformation of academic work, which has been accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic. We collected empirical material in spring 2020, at the peak of the pandemic, via 28 interviews with academics in Poland. The results illustrate the far-reaching and lasting impacts of the pandemic on academia that reinforce existing gender inequalities and bring new ones. The study also reveals the invisible academic work, which is performed mostly by female faculty. This work, neither recognized nor rewarded in the course of women's academic careers, deepens the gendered organization of work in higher education institutions.
