Title:
At the heart or on the periphery: gender, (in)visibility and epistemic positioning in academia
Abstract:
Professor Margaretha Järvinen has published an article together with professor Nanna Mik-Meyer, CBS about barriers for women’s careers in Academia. The article is based on 96 qualitative interviews with associate professors in economics, political science and sociology in Denmark.
Four gendered processes of epistemic positioning and gendered marginalisation are identified: reproduction of men’s privileges from cohort to cohort of academics; naturalisation of men’s collaboration with other men; ‘appropriation’, where men’s research fields and methods are defined as constituting the centre of a discipline; and ‘bounding’ as the discreditation of some types of research by labelling them ‘female.’
