Inhalt: "The article states that whilst more women are admitted to Greek universities than
men and generally achieve higher grades, very few women are promoted to the highest
academic ranks; suggests that a women’s academic career depends on her social connections
rather than on her qualifications; analyses the situation of women at the University
of Athens against the backdrop of the traditional philosophical debate concerning
the gender issue." (author's abstract)|

"Dim dross": marginalised women both inside and outside the academy
Autor/in:
Reay, Diane
Quelle: Women's studies international forum, Vol. 23 (2000) No. 1, S. 13-21
Inhalt: "In this article, I draw on my own experiences as a female contract researcher at
a British university as a starting point for raising issues around social justice,
ethics of caring and the culture of uncaring which permeates academic, as well as
wider social, elites. Although the term 'dross' was directed by Chris Woodhead, the
Chief Inspector of the Office for Standards in Education, the schools inspection service
in England and Wales, in his polemic against academic sociologists, towards the work
of myself and a small group of mainly gender and race researchers within education,
it is the still working-class female who is most at risk of being captured within
such representations. In this article, I attempt to juxtapose the position of the
female contract researcher, and in particular those of us from working-class backgrounds,
with dominant discursive constructions of still working-class women in order to make
sense of processes of marginalisation both within and without the academy." (author's
