Gender Inequalities in Tech-driven Research and Innovation : Living the Contradiction
- 2022
-
Samlingsverk (redaktörskap) (refereegranskat)abstract
- The Nordic countries are regarded as frontrunners in promoting equality, yet women’s experiences on the ground are in many ways at odds with this rhetoric.Putting the spotlight on the lived experiences of women working in tech-driven research and innovation areas in the Nordic countries, this volume explores why, despite numerous programmes, women continue to constitute a minority in these sectors.The contributors flesh out the differences and similarities across different Nordic countries and explore how the shifts in labour market conditions have impacted on women in Research and Innovation.This is an invaluable contribution to global debates around the mechanisms that maintain gendered structures in Research and Innovation, from academia to biotechnology and IT.

- In the twenty-first century when mothers are frequently styled as their daughter’s ‘best friend’ and confidante, feminist writings on motherhood continue to construct mother–daughter relations as problematic. Deborah Levy, a contemporary writer with an experimental bend, mobilizes Hélène Cixous’ famous essay ‘The laugh of the Medusa’ (Signs 1(4):875–893, 1976), and in particular the line, ‘It’s up to you to break the old circuits’ to explore embodiment, female rage, abandonment and co-dependence in her most recent work, Hot milk (Penguin, London, 2016). This chapter explores the conditions of maternality in the twenty-first century as a replay of ‘the drama of the gifted child’ (Miller, The drama of the gifted child. Faber and Faber, London, 1979) which requires ‘morphing together’ as an antidote to female victimhood.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The neoliberalization of higher education in western countries has led to work intensification, projectification, and work-life balance issues for academics. This article draws on interviews with Digital Humanities practitioners in higher education conducted in 2017-2018 in three Nordic countries to introduce the concept of the 'work-work balance', an under-researched phenomenon in contemporary academe. The term 'work-work balance' refers to the ways in which workers in higher education seek to balance conflicting concurrent work demands made on them. Four such work scenarios emerged from the data: the 50/50 split across different jobs; working across multiple projects simultaneously; occupying multiple functional roles; and conflicting demands within one job. The article argues that work-work balance, or rather imbalance, issues result in the inability of higher education workers to meet the demands put upon them. This raises questions regarding the role of HEIs and research funding regimes in the generation and maintenance of work-work balance scenarios and suggests that work-work balance issues need to be researched further as well as requiring urgent attention from HEIs and research funders.
