| description | Based on a study of gender equality issues in a research organisation in an Eastern European post-socialist country, the paper argues that the increasing precariousness
of academic employment and project-based work lead to workplace dynamics that must be considered in a specific setting. The results of a survey of employees at ZRC
SAZU show how one‘s position within the academic hierarchy and structure, as well as the nature of the work regime, shape employees‘ opinions. The largest differences
in opinion exist between junior female researchers and senior male ones, but there are also relevant differences in the views of women working as research and as
administrative staff. The results indicate that an analysis that takes into account the forces of the neoliberal academic market has the potential to illuminate regimes
of inequality that are gendered through the relationship between work and social reproduction rather than through identity categories as such. |
