The Re-Production Process of Gender Bias: A Case of ICT Professors through Recruitment in a Gender-Neutral Country
Tiainen, Tarja; Berki, Eleni
Studies in Higher Education, v44 n1 p170-184 2019
Women's under-representation in the fields of science and technology is strong; both in software houses and academic posts. We focus on the academic field by gender sensitive analysis of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) academics. The general picture given by statistics' meta-analyses illustrates male dominance even in Finland, which is often presented as a country which values gender equality high. For achieving deeper understanding about the process of gender bias reproduction, we focus on one university and its selection of ICT professors. Although every professorship fulfilling is a situated process, they all together shape a homogeneous male-dominant picture. This paper continues on early gender-focused discussion of "Studies in Higher Education" by presenting an organisational point of view.
