The Capstone Editing reason to help
Despite their highest numbers at university and postgraduate levels, women often remain under-represented in academics. This is known as the “pipeline effect”, in which women complete academic post-PhDs less than men, with many refusing to hold academic positions. This effect, although less explored, can be seen as a consequence of the more competitive nature of the academy, which is detrimental to women in their decisions to start and pursue an academic career.
Academic tasks at all levels are often redundant, with unrealistic expectations about research results and unpaid overtime needed for competitiveness. Ninety percent of full-time academics work more than 40 hours a week, including 51 percent who work more than 50 hours a week (and that can mean anywhere up to 80 hours a week).
Given the persistent societal expectations and structural factors that lead women to take most of the responsibility for meeting education and other care roles, this workload is impossible to maintain in many women’s academies. Despite the progress made by many academic institutions on the impact of care on academic work, there is no denying that, in general, the recognition of all the ways in which care, especially motherhood, and a woman’s career can change academically, fails systematically.
