Researching discursive ressources in gendered research institutions: new approaches to studying the articulation of science and gender in the making

peer reviewedThe sixth chapter offers another perspective on the analytical construct of the gender pipeline, using a multidimensional and multilevel approach, thus under-lining how such a phenomenon highlights different typical features according to varying social and organisational contexts. On the basis of a meta- analysis of the case studies conducted in the GARCIA project, Farah Dubois- Shaik, Bernard Fusulier and Caroline Vincke develop a typology where social, organisational and career- based dimensions are combined with costs at stake, i.e. those costs that each specific configuration generates for science, for organisations and for individuals, particularly in terms of gender balance and inequality. In particular, three types of careers and experiences are identified: (i) persisting in precarious career paths, at a high cumulative cost; (ii) continuing in ambivalent career paths, at moderate cost; and (iii) striving to win in competitive career paths, at a specific cost. Such a typology can be a useful tool for research institutions to allow them to think about their own leaky pipeline situation and to identify strat-egies that can reduce relative costs through the re- thinking of how work is organ-ised, in particular in terms of workforce casualisation and its conditions, as well as that pertaining to its female component

Panel « "Gender and Work/Life Interferences in Scientific Careers"

peer reviewedThis double special issue gathers a series of nuanced critically conceptual and case-study research showing that in the contemporary European context, despite regional differences in gender regimes, political and economic demands and organizational cultures, work/life balance policies and their translation into practice remains a highly ambiguous issue. Although work/ life balance policies have undoubtedly entered the university institutional spaces, they are deterred by opposing institutional policy logics and particularly ‘greedy’ logics of the organizing of work that still aligns to outdated work-exclusive masculine organizational culture (outdated because men too are suffering the effects, and because the academic environment is feminized). Moreover, there are lingering gender stereotypes around the value and attribution of home and work duties, which are having a significant impact upon women’s professional and private spheres and experiences in academic work. The gathered research shows how university institutions are still quite far from having addressed the core issues that undermine women’s career advancement and their possibilities to access to academic membership and leadership, still obliging them (and their male counterparts) to align with a work and membership (selection and progression) logic and organization that does not take into consideration parenthood, family and personal spheres of life

Chercheur-e-s parents en cours d’insertion dans la carrière scientifique : quelles inégalités ?

peer reviewedDans cette communication, nous proposons tout d’abord quelques clés de lecture sociologique du monde universitaire afin de saisir l’environnement dans lequel œuvrent et se meuvent aujourd'hui les chercheurs. Nous exposons ensuite des résultats d'enquête sur l'expérience et les rapports à la carrière scientifique, soulignant le rôle qu'y jouent le genre et l'interférence travail/famille

Study on the representativeness o the social partner organisations in the professional football players sector

A portada: Université catholique de Louvain. Institut des sciences du travailResearch project conducted on behalf of the Employment and Social Affairs DG of the European CommissionThe aim of the report is to produce a study that sets out both brief descriptions of the way that social dialogue functions in the countries concerned, and descriptions of the various workers' and employers' organisations involved in social dialogue at sector level. This study may be seen as a tool to help understand these quantitative and qualitative factors. It will also make it possible to understand the various systems of industrial relations in different countries, and to introduce the actors involved in social dialogue
