- This article considers gender and managerial identities in organizational life, taking the recent change in higher education in Sweden and England with the coming of the new public management as the context in which to explore these issues. In reviewing the literature on gender identity and organization/management, which has moved from a pre-occupation with difference to an examination of the complex inter-relationship between gender and organization, an attempt is made to operationalize the concept of ositionality, using insights from the work of Alcoff and Melucci. It is argued that Academic Shape Shifting is developed by academics during their time in academia, as well as in defensive and proactive response to the recent managerial reforms. A number of indicative responses to the recent changes are identified. These are: the Stressed Professor, the Managerial Advocate, the Administrative Patrician, the Accidental Female, the Academic Chameleon and the Resolute Researcher. As Academic Shape Shifting is used by social individuals in interaction with others, at particular moments in time and in different circumstances, it is concluded that the implications suggest complexity in the changing character of university life, with female academics in middle range positions facing more difficult compromises than their male counterparts. Key words. academic positioning; gender; higher education; identity; new public management; Sweden and England

Gender and management in the public sector

Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The public sector in Europe has been subject to much change in recent years, not least because of the pronounced but uneven impact of the New Public Management. But if change is prevalent, gender inequality, gender segregation and gender differences remain persistent - as much in the public sector as elsewhere. Papers in this track explore a number of these gender issues, including how public sector managerialism and leadership is ‘gendered', how managerialism is responded to (and sometimes resisted) by women and men, the patterns of gendered occupational segregation, and the continuing inequalities in opportunity despite decades of ‘equal opportunity' legislation and action. Papers also explore cross-cutting differences of ‘race' and ethnicity and ofsexualities. Generalisation across Europe and the public sector is, of course, problematic and the papers in this track understandably tend to focus on specific countries and specific parts of the public sector with studies of health, higher education and social care predominating. The track will thus provide an opportunity to discuss differences as well as similarities in the form gender relations and inequality take within the public sector in a range of European countries.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- In this article, we consider the implications of managerial reforms and performativity in higher education in Sweden and England, following the introduction of new public management and the development of neoliberalism. The article examines some gendered implications by drawing on the experiences of eight experienced female academics. The data are drawn from a dataset of interviews. The first interviews we present were conducted at the beginning of 2001 with two long-serving academics from each country. The rest of the interviews we present were conducted 10 years later, with academics who were, like the previous interviewees, long serving. The same interview questions were used for all the interviews. We found differences between the two countries, in terms of social democratic and liberal traditions, as well as similarities. In the earlier interviews, we found the reforms to be viewed negatively, while the later interviews suggested some accommodation in respect of research and management. Yet, despite this, the female academics in both countries had become increasingly subjected to performativity and were experiencing difficulties in undertaking research as they took on more teaching and administration.
