Gender and higher education
Gender inequality in higher education has long been a topic of scholarly debate and policy concern, particularly within the framework of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Indeed, our analysis of 1,142 gender-specific publications in top higher education journals indexed in Web of Science reveals a significant increase in interest in gender research, especially between 2018 and 2024. The United States leads in higher education gender resea…

STEM teachers’ agency for gender equality in STEM education
Drawing on biological differences, teachers positioned girls as “responsible” and boys as “capable” in STEM. • Few teachers could identify gender bias in textbooks and most were not troubled by it. • Teachers were aware of gendered differentiated education pathways but not their own agency to intervene. • Only a minority of teachers expressed an interest in professional development for gender equality. • Teacher education has not supported teache…
Investigating Trends and Developments in Academic Research and Publications on Gender and STEM
Despite the notable increase in women’s enrollment in education, a significant gender gap persists in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) disciplines. This imbalance poses challenges in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by 2030. While research on the relationship between gender and STEM has been growing, the scientific mapping of the structure and development of the field is yet to be explored. By analyzing 2…
Higher Education Leadership Agency in Mainstreaming Gender Equality
This qualitative study explores the perspectives of senior leadership on gender equality within higher education institutions (HEIs) in Kazakhstan, addressing a gap in the literature on the agency of senior leaders in mainstreaming gender equality in post‐Soviet contexts. Kazakhstan is a significant case due to its high ranking on gender indicators in Central Asia and its unique blend of modernization and traditional gender discourses. We intervi…
Thirty years of gender mainstreaming
While gender mainstreaming (GM) is globally recognized as a key strategy for realizing gender equality and achieving the Sustainable Development Goals, the evolution and development of GM research have yet to be analyzed. This article fills this gap in knowledge by undertaking a bibliometric analysis of the GM literature based on 1590 documents extracted from two of the most extensive databases, Scopus and Web of Science (WoS). Our findings revea…
Evolution of gender research in the social sciences in post-Soviet countries
While interest in mapping the patterns of publication and research in post-Soviet countries has been growing steadily, there is a gap in knowledge about how gender is featured in post-Soviet research and publications. Using a descriptive bibliometric approach and metadata extracted from 2822 publications indexed in the Web of Science Core Collection database for 1993–2021, this study seeks to understand the evolution of gender research in post-So…
Gender and the navigation of STEM careers in higher education institutions
The underrepresentation of female faculty in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) disciplines is a globally acknowledged gender equity concern; however, it remains under-researched in post-Soviet contexts. Using a theoretically informed analysis, this paper explores how female STEM faculty members navigate their gender identities in domestic and academic spheres in post-Soviet Tajikistan. In-depth semi-structured interviews we…
Conducting Focus Groups in Multicultural Educational Contexts
What happens when focus groups are conducted in challenging situations across languages, cultures, and educational settings? What adjustments might need to be made? How can adaptations be made while still maintaining the integrity of the research? Drawing on a multi-year study of gender and schooling in post-Soviet Kazakhstan, this article brings together researcher data from (1) informal discussion occurring after each focus group between the re…
The fearful khan and the delightful beauties’
This paper analyses how secondary school textbooks enact gender in post-Soviet Kazakhstan. As a ‘gender paradox’, with universal literacy and yet a higher representation of women at the tertiary level co-existing with multi-sectoral gaps at the expense of women, Kazakhstan offers an interesting context to empirically investigate the taken for granted relationship between education, gender equality and sustainable development. Poststructuralist di…
Faculty Challenges and Barriers for Research and Publication in Tajik Higher Education
This article investigates the current state of faculty research activity within Tajik higher education institutions (HEIs), where the level of research productivity has substantially decreased in the past three decades. As part of a larger ethnographic study on professional lives of Tajik faculty members, we investigated and found enormous challenges to conducting research and becoming active researchers reported by our respondents. We analyze an…
Gender and the academic profession in contemporary Tajikistan
This article attempts to describe the deleterious impact of higher educational changes affecting female faculty members working in Tajik universities in the post-Soviet era. Over the past two decades, the social and economic position women gained during Soviet times has significantly eroded, bringing enormous challenges to education and higher education access, completion and staffing. The demographic and cultural marginalization of women here ha…
