Gender and gatekeeping of excellence in research funding: European perspectives

Feministiska interventioner

“…Höga akademiska ledare är "grindvakter" (gate keepers), det vill säga personer som kontrollerar vem som har tillgång till resurser såsom arenor, informationsflöden, utveckling av vetenskapliga fält och nätverk etcetera. En grindvakt kan inte bara utestänga utan även underlätta och förse någon med möjligheter -hen kan både exkludera och inkludera (Husu & de Cheveigné 2010).

The Persistence of Gender Struggles in Nordic Research and Innovation

They promote a myth of equality (see Martinsson et al, 2016) which silences issues of inequality, making claims based on actual experiences of inequality difficult to raise and pursue.…”

Higher Education as Context for Music Pedagogy Research

“…Research exploring the structures of drafting committees for research funding show a pattern of underrepresentation connected to gender and race in the boards (Husu & de Cheveigné, 2010). Studies stress the importance of gender equity when nominating to these positions, since they offer valuable experience and useful knowledge when writing research funding applications (Bondestam & Grip, 2015;Husu & de Cheveigné 2010).…”
