The contradiction of the myth of individual merit, and the reality of a patriarchal
support system in academic careers : a feminist investigation
Autor/in:
Bagilhole, Barbara; Goode, Jackie
Quelle: The European journal of women's studies, Vol. 8 (2001) No. 2, S. 161-180
Inhalt: "This article draws on data from a qualitative research study undertaken in an old
(pre-1992) UK university with the main aim of investigating the issue of the gender
dimension of academic careers. It examines the idea of an individualistic academic
career that demands self-promotion, which is still used as a measure of achievement
by those in senior positions. However, there is a basic contradiction. While this
idea is upheld, men simultaneously gain by an in-built patriarchal support system.
They do not have to make a conscious effort to be helped by it, thereby perpetuating
the cultural hegemony of individualism. Women are not admitted to this support system,
and if they are seen as needing or wanting to set up their own system, this is viewed
as a weakness. The answer appears to be for women to strategically harness feminist
ways of working in a collaborative and supportive way." (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

Barriers and constraints : women physicists' perceptions of career progress
Autor/in:
Hodgson, Barbara; Scanlon, Eileen; Whitelegg, Elizabeth
Quelle: Physics education, Vol. 35 (2000) No. 6, S. 454-459
Inhalt: "Researchers in the area of women in science are trying to understand how the participation of women in science can be increased and also what prevents women from developing scientific careers. Past influential work supports the importance of taking the perspective of women's education and career paths as a whole, emphasizing the importance of structural and social factors in career progress. This paper reports some outcomes from an interview study with women PhD physicists working in a variety of science-related careers. Our aim is to explore and document the career experience of women scientists and to identify barriers and constraints to women's participation in science careers and to investigate ways in which educational experiences contribute to career progress."
