VMP - Gender and equality from an institutional perspective: "Combating Career Instability and Asymmetries"

Based on the research reports produced in the framework of the European research project GARCIA – Gendering the Academy and Research: Combating Career Instability and Asymmetries (Dubois-Shaik et al., 2018), Pr. Shaik's presentation underlined the importance of understanding the “pipeline” from a multidimensional and multi-level perspective (macro, meso and micro).

She began by presenting the approach (first section), related to the works of C. Musselin (2009) and S. Gherardi (1994) in order to describe how they have conceived analysis of the data (second section). She then (third section) presented a model of three ideal-types of gendered pipelines, developed with particular attention to the costs that each Type generates for science, the institution and the individuals, as well as to their impact in terms of gender. Before concluding, she discussed the secondary effects of the mode of functioning of research and academia, but also the perspectives envisaged in current research to counter these effects.
