Despite the egalitarian and collegial philosophy in its ideals, academic market is segregated and gendered where women receive fewer rewards than their male counterparts, are under-represented, segregated and excluded from participation in the formal and informal academic structures in academia. The country contexts, the gendered academic organizational settings as well as everyday interactions all play a major role not only in women's participation within academia, but also how they perceive their future in academic institutions. This research note, through an original survey with over 200 academics, attempts to study the latter assumption by looking at women academics' perceptions of their work life, their challenges, as well as aspirations. Our results show that those perceiving strong hierarchy in the realm of work are significantly more likely to believe that being woman in academia harms their job prospects. We also show that, not only were they pessimistic about the challenges facing them at the moment, but they were also more skeptical about women's potential in overcoming such challenges in the future.

学术界对性别挑战的看法：女性学者如何将性别等级视为成就的障碍

尽管其理想中的平等主义和学院主义哲学，学术市场是隔离和性别的，女性比男性获得更少的奖励，代表性不足，被隔离并被排除在学术界的正式和非正式学术结构之外。国家背景、性别化的学术组织环境以及日常互动都在女性参与学术界以及她们如何看待自己在学术机构中的未来方面发挥着重要作用。本研究报告通过对 200 多名学者的原始调查，试图通过观察女性学者对其工作生活、挑战和抱负的看法来研究后一种假设。我们的研究结果表明，那些在工作领域感受到强烈等级制度的人更有可能相信在学术界担任女性会损害他们的工作前景。我们还表明，她们不仅对目前面临的挑战持悲观态度，而且对女性未来克服这些挑战的潜力也更加持怀疑态度。
