The New(est) Kid on the Block
In recent years, Dutch universities have increasingly adopted the concept of “social safety” as a distinct policy domain, alongside Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. Triggered in part by high-profile reports on harassment and misconduct in academia, social safety has emerged as a widely endorsed yet ambiguously defined framework. This study investigates the meanings associated with social safety policy work across eleven Dutch higher education in…

Risk-Taking and Research Funding
Risk and risk-taking in science and their relation to creativity and novelty in research outcomes have received increasing attention in recent years. However, there is a lack of clarity about what risk-taking in science is and how it is perceived. This paper inductively explores how scientists perceive risk and risk-taking in relation to funding proposals and subsequent research plans and what strategies they use to address uncertainty in practic…

Dehumanised and objectified
We argue that neoliberal universities implement student evaluations of teaching (SETs) as governing technologies to impose control on lecturers, resulting in their dehumanisation and objectification. Through ‘story work’ we weave together empirical quotes in existing literature, tweets, and our own experiences, to reveal that SETs employ animalistic and mechanistic dehumanisation, enhancing existing systemic inequalities such as gender and race. …
Maternity Leave as Upskilling
In Denmark, parental leave in relation to childbirth has long been a political hot topic.This study adds a new perspective to this issue by examining a newly emergent LinkedIn discourse which we call "maternity leave as upskilling."It presents maternity leave as an opportunity to strengthen women's professional competences.Denmark has seen no noteworthy organic balancing of available leave days between parents, and Danish politicians have long be…
Women academics' ambivalent experiences of singlehood and international mobility
This article explores the lived experiences of nine women scholars who are single, childfree and internationally mobile. Mobilising Laurent Berlant's work on ambivalence and ‘cruel optimism,’ we show how experiences of singlehood and academic international mobility are never only good or bad, but always both at the same time. Ambivalence emerges in the women's experiences because singlehood can facilitate academic careers by enabling high product…
A lack of mess? Advice on undertaking video-mediated participant observations
Purpose This article offers practical advice to ethnographers venturing into doing participant observations through, but not about, videoconferencing applications such as Zoom, for which the methods literature offers little guidance. Design/methodology/approach The article stems from a research project about a BioMedical Design Fellowship. As the COVID-19 pandemic hit, the Fellowship converted all teaching activities to online learning via Zoom, …
The “new normal” of academia in pandemic times
In this piece, we dwell on the shadow sides of the “new normal” of academic labor during the pandemic. As the greedy, neoliberal university penetrates our homes and bodies during lockdown, it infuses our (work) lives with a magnitude of mixed pressures and troublesome effects and affects. Embedded in very different home situations, we explore autoethnographically how we are affected similarly and differently, through questioning our senses of tox…
Breaking the mold
This paper orchestrates alterethnographical reflections in which we, women, polyphonically document, celebrate and vocalize the sound of change. This change is represented in Kamala Harris's appointment as the first woman, woman of color, and South Asian American as the US Vice President, breaking new boundaries of political leadership, and harvesting new gains for women in leadership and power more broadly. With feminist awareness and curiosity,…
Exploring linkages between organisational culture and gender equality work—An ethnography of a multinational engineering company
This article explores linkages between organisation-specific cultural narratives and gender-equality programme planning through the lens of the 'historicity' concept. The article argues that to fully understand problem definitions, programme design and organisational change processes related to gender equality, scholars and practitioners cannot focus one-sidedly on expected outcomes and effects; we must also factor in cultural narratives, because…
All the single ladies’ as the ideal academic during times of Covid‐19
Much of what has hitherto been written about women’s lived experiences of the coronavirus pandemic takes their status as mothers and the spouses of men for granted. Skewed care demands on women researchers working from home may translate into individual career disadvantage and cumulative, large‐scale gender inequalities in the future, which is undeniably a serious issue. However, the narrative that single, childfree women must currently, by contr…
Maneuvering within postfeminism
In Denmark, gender equality in academia has seen limited progress during the past 30 years. To improve our understanding of this persistent problem, this article examines gender equality practitioners in relation to the wider discursive context of Danish society. Theorizing Denmark as a “postfeminist gender regime,” I analyze how practitioners negotiate a space for action in a context which generally opposes gender equality initiatives. I introdu…
Gender Dynamics in Academic Networks - a Narrative Review
Progress towards gender balance among senior faculty in Danish academia remains slow. Although networks are widely recognized as key to career success, studies on the influence of gender on network dynamics and career advancement in academia are scarce. Until now, scholarship has engaged with the topic of gender and networks in organizations through two co-existing, while unrelated, streams of research, namely the social networks literature and t…
