Indentured Labor or “Good Governance”? Interrogating eMigration and Workers’ Negotiations Over Contracts in Kenyan Domestic Worker Labor Migration to the Gulf States
This article critically examines the governance of Kenyan domestic workers’ labor migration to the Gulf states through digital platforms such as the Labor Mobility Management Information System (LMMIS). Drawing on interviews with returnee migrants and other stakeholders, it interrogates whether contemporary eMigration systems reproduce colonial-era indenture logics by creating a “fiction of free labor” through contractual rituals. The study revea…

What professors do in peer review
Sweden is known for its political will to gender equality. Sweden is also a country with a strong tradition of transparency in university recruitments.

This article also analyzes how changes in research priorities relate to already existing structures of inequality based on gender and race in Swedish academia. More specifically, I have explored - using secondary data, reports, and previous research - the question of where in the academic hierarchy, in what Higher Education Instituti…

Globalisation, diversity and academic practice
In the context of globalisation, the expansion of the higher education sector has been accompanied by growing demands for greater socio-economic responsiveness on the part of universities. In turn, these changes have been accompanied not only by calls for greater diversity and wider representation of all social groups in university life, but also by a range of specific diversity practices. The impact of these diversity practices, with particular …

Mapping Gender Differences in Scientific Careers in Social and Bibliometric Space
Despite a growing interest in gender differences in scientific careers, few studies have focused on the impact of research organization on researchers. This article offers a new approach to this issue by introducing bibliometric maps combined with sociological data and interviews, taking both the research organization and the experiences of the individual researcher into account. The results indicate that gender biases operate at various levels o…
