"What kept me going was stubbornness": Perspectives from Swedish early career women academics in geography
Instituto de Investigaciones Feministas 2016-12-19

The rise of neoliberalism is creating inequalities for women as they balance their private lives and career trajectories. Geography as a middle sized discipline bridging the social and physical sciences offers insights into the ways neoliberal policies are felt by early career women (ECW). Using a life course model, this study presents the results of a workshop which sought to explore the ways in which women geographers, in Sweden, perceive and experience obstacles in their career advancement and which coping strategies they put in place to overcome those. The results show the blurring of the ECW s work and private lives. We find the experiences of ECW in Swedish geography departments are consistent with those of women in other countries. We conclude that ECW carry extra burdens in their career trajectories as academics due to unsupportive working environments, lack of mentorship, and an increasing pressure to produce measurable outputs and precarious employment. We argue that initiatives and programs aimed at retaining women in academia need to take on a broader perspective acknowledging the entanglement of womens private and public spheres

El surgimiento del neoliberalismo está creando desigualdades para las mujeres para equilibrar sus vidas privadas y sus trayectorias profesionales. La geografía como una disciplina de tamaño mediano que puentea las ciencias sociales y físicas ofrece ideas sobre las formas en que las políticas neoliberales son sentidas por las mujeres al Inicio de su Carrera Académica (ICA). Utilizando un modelo de curso de vida, este estudio presenta los resultados de un taller que buscó explorar las maneras en que las mujeres geógrafas, en Suecia, perciben y experimentan obstáculos en su avance profesional y qué estrategias de enfrentamiento implementan para superarlas. Los resultados muestran la confusión del trabajo y la vida privada al ICA. Encontramos que las experiencias del ICA en los departamentos de geografía suecos son consistentes con las de las mujeres en otros países. Llegamos a la conclusión de que el ICA supone cargas extra en sus trayectorias de carrera como académicas debido a los ambientes de trabajo cada vez más neoliberales, la falta de tutoría, y una creciente presión para producir productos medibles, así como un empleo precario. Argumentamos que las iniciativas y programas encaminados a retener a las mujeres en el mundo académico necesitan adoptar una perspectiva más amplia que reconozca los conflictos en las esferas privada y pública de las mujeres
