Full Description
This book is the second of a series of five volumes that analyze and denounce the gender-based inequalities and violence faced by Latin American female social scientists in academic settings. This volume is dedicated to Argentina and offers a rigorous feminist ethnographic analysis of these issues in Argentinean universities. Drawing on qualitative interviews and systematic reviews, the book examines how structural and relational mechanisms—such as androcentrism, symbolic violence, and meritocracy bias—shape women's trajectories across undergraduate and graduate education, labor market insertion, and professional performance.
Organized into three parts, the chapters provide:
A contextual overview of gender policies, historical trends, and statistical data on women's participation in Argentinean universities.
In-depth narratives of family backgrounds, educational choices, and formative experiences, highlighting the intersection of gender mandates and class expectations.
Analyses of workplace dynamics, including precarious employment, motherhood discrimination, and sexual harassment and abuse, revealing how institutional cultures perpetuate inequality despite women's numerical majority in academia.
By situating the Argentinean case within Latin American and global debates on gender equity, How to Suppress the Careers of Female Social Scientists - Volume 2: An Anti-Manual from Argentina contributes to feminist scholarship on higher education and scientific careers. It combines methodological rigor with critical reflection, offering insights for researchers, policymakers, and institutions seeking to address systemic inequities in academic environments.
