Project Details
Description
Promotions practices work as gatekeepers for women academics, filtering who gets through, who is deemed to meet the grade, who is successful, or not. In higher education institutional contexts of gendered inequality in which ‘merit sticks to men’ (Woodhams et al., 2022), this project explores the structural and micropolitical work that promotions criteria and promotions practices do in regulating academic women’s promotion. WomenCAN is a UKRI/University of Bath funded project which includes a survey with Heads and Deputy Heads of Department, narrative interviews with 20 senior women academics, and a bespoke coaching course.
