| Summary: | In the first decades of the 20th century in Argentina, especially in 1918,
there was a university reform promoted by the student movement and that
promoted the democratization of the universities. However, the massive
incorporation of women into the country’s national universities is going to
arrive almost around the end of the century. Thus, in the first decades of
the 21st century, several reforms were produced in most of the Argentine
universities, which were promoted by the feminist movement, the women
professors and researchers, the students and the administrative workers. The
main reforms were the enactment of protocols in cases of violence and / or
discrimination based on gender, the creation of gender areas in the
administrative and organizational structures of the universities, and the
inclusion of parity for the selection of authorities. In this chapter, the
latest feminist transformations and reforms in Argentine national
universities will be analyzed based on three key areas: (i) violence and
discrimination based on gender, (ii) processes of institutionalization of
gender areas, and (iii) inclusion of parity for the selection of
authorities. Likewise, there will be a brief description of the main
inequalities at the university level such as horizontal and vertical
segmentation. |
