Much less investigated is the issue of which stage in the career such differences begin to show up. Gender and Precarious Research Careers aims to advance the debate on the process of precarisation in higher education and its gendered effects, and springs from a three-year research project across institutions in seven European countries: Italy, Belgium, the Netherlands, Iceland, Switzerland, Slovenia and Austria. Examining gender asymmetries in academic and research organisations, this insightful volume focuses particularly on early careers. It centres both on STEM disciplines (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) and SSH (Social Science and Humanities) fields. Offering recommendations to design innovative organisational policies and self-tailored 'Gender Equality Plans' to be implemented in universities and research centres, this volume will appeal to students and researchers interested in fields such as Gender Studies, Sociology of Work and Industry, Sociology of Knowledge, Business Studies and Higher Education. 606 $aWomen in higher education 606 $aDiscrimination in higher education 615 0$aWomen in higher education. 615 0$aDiscrimination in higher education. 676 $a378.0082 686 $aSOC000000$aSOC026000$2bisacsh 700 $aMurgia$b Annalisa$0609230 702 $aMurgia$b Annalisa 702 $aPoggio$b Barbara$f1967- 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910737283403321 996 $aGender and precarious research careers$94288708 997 $aUNINA
