Inhalt: "In research and science policy on women in academia, various metaphors are often
used to crystallize the complexities of women's position and persistent inequalities
there. Although research has gradually shifted from a 'women as a problem' perspective
towards problematizing academia, metaphors focusing on women abound. Metaphors in
this field are explored in terms of their focus and approach to power, resistance,
agency and change. Many metaphors depict women's position in academia as static rather
than dynamic. Very few include references to women's agency and resistance. A more
critical approach towards metaphors in both research and science policy is advocated."
