Reconsidering the Assessment Criteria in Academic Recruitment
This paper examines how researchers make sense of the dominant valuation regimes in the context of career assessment, especially academic recruitment. It also asks what changes researchers envision, especially what areas of academic work are under‐recognised. Universities' assessment systems are important because they encourage researchers to focus on certain activities and outputs. Dominant ways of assessment have been criticised for their empha…
National Policies Supporting Gender Equality in Academic Careers
National policies used to advance gender equality in academic careers in higher education in Sweden, Norway, and Finland, are examined based on publicly available documents from 1990 to 2023.Drawing on theoretical perspectives from public policy research and feminist political theory, we investigate to what extent policies are likely to lead to organizational transformation, in line with the intentions of gender mainstreaming.The analysis maps th…
From an Input to an Output
Success in the competition for external grants has become an important indicator when progressing in academic careers. Drawing on interview data with academics across various career stages and academic fields at one Finnish university, the study identifies four discourses that elucidate why research grants are deemed significant in advancing an academic career. The findings indicate that it is appealing for universities to use research funding su…
Advancing women's representation in top academic positions - what works
Which gender equality measures do Nordic universities use, and to what extent are the measures effective in increasing the share of women in top academic positions? Based on theories that distinguish between actor and structure-oriented measures, and between strategies of inclusion and transformation, we identified four types of measures: career enhancing measures offered for women, training and awareness-raising measures, organizational responsi…
Reaching for different ends through tenure track—institutional logics in university career systems
In this study, we used the institutional logics perspective to identify the logics underpinning the tenure track career system, how the logics manifest themselves in recruitment and performance management and how academic leaders and academics negotiate between the logics. The study contributes to research on governance dynamics in academia and to universities’ organisational transformation in the context of strategic actorhood. The data comprise…
Gender and Globalization of Academic Labor Markets
This article investigates the impact of the globalized academic labor market on the composition of teaching and research staff at Swedish, Norwegian, and Finnish universities. Using national statistical data from 2012 to 2018, the authors examine how globalization has influenced the proportion of women across career stages, particularly in STEM fields, and how gender intersects with country of origin within academic hierarchies. The findings reve…
Co-creating transdisciplinary global change research agendas in Finland
Co-creation principles have become prominent in the scientific disciplines that aim to respond to global sustainability challenges especially in the global south. This paper analyses a co-creation pilot of global change research in the novel context of a Nordic country, Finland. The pilot was organised to learn how to create a future agenda for a complex and transdisciplinary research field of global change. This paper analyses its conceptualisat…
Incentivising academics
Research has shown that a tenure track incorporates both commitment and control aspects: the career system offers junior-level academics long-term job prospects, but subjects them to performance control. This study complements existing research on tenure track positions, which has mostly been conducted in northern America. Universities in Finland have established new organisation-specific tenure track systems. Drawing on interviews with academics…
