Women's Work-Related and Family-Related Discrimination and Support in Academia

Husu, Liisa,1953-Örebro universitet,Akademin för humaniora, utbildning och samhällsvetenskap,CFS (author)

Based on Husu (2001) Sexism, Support and Survival. Academic Women and Hidden Discrimination in Finland. University of Helsinki, Department of Social Psychology, Social Psychological Studies 6.
Academia remains a male-dominated occupational realm, even though women have made great gains as actors in higher education. The interconnections of work-related and family-related discrimination experiences and work-related and family-related support are analyzed, drawing on over 100 semi-structured interviews with and written accounts of academic women in 11 Finnish universities from all major disciplinary fields. Finland provides an interesting research context, characterized by relatively high gender equality in both academia and society more generally. Exploring academic women in this setting reveals several paradoxes, namely those of: feminization of academia; family-friendly policies; academic motherhood; and academic endogamy.
