Academic mobility in the context of linked lives

Academic mobility is usually perceived and discussed as a positive phenomenon — as a prerequisite for building a competitive and successful economy and quality science. Academic mobility has now become essential to building a successful academic career in many research domains. On the policy level the negative impact of academic mobility on researchers’ lives and especially women’s is usually overlooked and marginalized. In my paper I focus on academic mobility in the context of academics’ relationship…

Coping Strategies for Sexual Harassment in Higher Education: “An Official Action May Harm you in the End More than if Someone Slaps your Butt”

The paper asks in what ways students in Czech higher education cope with sexual harassment and what strategies they choose to deal with it.

The study reveals that student’s narratives are organized on two planes between which there is a clear discrepancy: on the “hypothetical” plane external strategies of open resistance against sexual harassment predominate on the second plane involving students’ narratives about dealing wit…

Why do long-term couples decide to break-up?

In this paper we present and discuss the findings on s…

Mají muži a ženy v ČR odlišné postoje k práci?

The position of men and women on the Czech labour market is not equal. Many authors concerned with explanation of the reasons of the gender inequalities on the labour market emphasize the role of structural barriers and gender stereotypes. In this paper I am trying to answer the question whether it is either the existence of structural barriers or different attitudes of men and women towards work that is the cause of the obvious gender inequality on the Czech labour market. The analysis revealed that the diffe…

Sexuální obtěžování ve vysokoškolském prostředí: Zkušenosti zavádění politik v zahraničí

The problem of sexual harassment at universities has been “explored” by western and primarily American sociology in the middle of the 1970s. Since then, anti-harassment policies and procedures (including the follow-up victim care) have been established at most of the Anglo-Saxon universities designing how to deal with “harassers” as well as “victims”. In the Czech Republic, an empirical research concerning the issue as well as university anti-harassment policies are still missing. The aim of this a…
