Academic Excellence and Gender Bias in the Practices and Perceptions of Scientists in Leadership and Decision-making Positions

How to assess quality has become one of the central concerns for contemporary research, not least because of the proliferation of research assessment systems around the globe. Concomitant with this has been the growing attention to factors that compromise the credibility of assessment, especially gender, ethnic, racial and geopolitical bias. In this paper I analyse how lab leaders and research managers in the natural sciences specifically construct excellence and relatedly the demands of the research professio…

Gender, In(equity), and the Scientific Workforce

Gender hierarchies in the scientific workforce reflect and reinforce relations of status and power in societies. Concentrating on the United States and European Union, this chapter reveals deep and persistent gender disparities in participation by scientific field, and in performance, recognition, and rewards in scientific careers. Explanations of these disparities lie within intersecting institutional influences including family/households, and in the culture, practices, and organizational structures of sci…

Unable to resist: Researchers’ responses to research assessment in the Czech Republic

Instituted in 2004, the Czech Republic research assessment has since changed on an annual basis. In this paper I examine how researchers in the Czech Republic negotiate research assessment. Using the concept of epistemic living spaces (Felt & Fochler, 2010 Felt, 2009), I first set in context the Czech research assessment system and second explore the micro-politics of resistance in which researchers engage in their daily conduct. Empirically, I draw on individual and group interviews carried out with Czech res…

Sociologické aspekty

In the chapter the author deals with the construction of gender roles and gender stereotypes in the CR and their impact on the formation of TG identities, especially on the differences between female-to-male and male-to-female transgenders due to rigid socialisation. She shows that the concept of performativity of gender is very problematic in case of transgenders and the relationship to the majority society to the transgender community precisely due to the 'breach' of biological expectations. …
