“…Ireland promoted neoliberal managerialist values in public policymaking from the late 1990s (Collins, 2007), and in higher education from the early 2000s (Loxley, Seery, & Walsh, 2014;Lynch, 2006;Lynch & Grummell, 2018); neoliberalism dominated all welfare policymaking post-2008(Murphy & Dukelow, 2016.…”

This article examines the rise in precarious academic employment in Ireland as an outcome of the higher education restructuring following OECD (Organisation for Economic Co‐operation and Development), government initiatives and post‐crisis austerity. Presenting the narratives of academic women at different career stages, we claim that a focus on care sheds new light on the debate on precarity. A more complete understanding of precarity should take account not only of the contractual security but also affective relational security in the lives of employees. The intersectionality of paid work and care work lives was a dominant theme in our interviews among academic women. In a globalized academic market, premised on the care‐free masculinized ideals of competitive performance, 24/7 work and geographical mobility, women who opt out of these norms, suffer labour‐led contractual precarity and are over‐represented in part‐time and fixed‐term positions. Women who comply with these organizational commands need to peripheralize their relational lives and experience care‐led affective precarity.

“…El prestigio y la excelencia han sido históricamente ejes identitarios de las universidades, pero estos son ahora releídos en un marco neoliberal, exacerbando aspectos como el individualismo y la competitividad académica (Fardella, 2020;Knights, 2013). La búsqueda de excelencia, arbitrariamente entendida como mérito individual, se ha ido materializando dócilmente en mecanismos de gestión universitaria como: (1) asignaciones presupuestarias mediante concursos; (2) distribución de fondos para diferentes actividades universitarias en función de la producción individual; (3) evaluaciones y seguimiento permanente de la actividad académica, y (4) la rendición de cuentas como principal mecanismo de gobernanza (Lynch y Grummell, 2018).…”

El presente libro es el resultado de la iniciativa #educarconsentido, una serie de diálogos en clave educativa y en formato virtual promovida por el grupo de investigación ESBRINA de la Universidad de Barcelona y la ONG Faro Digital. Su objetivo ha sido construir un espacio de reflexión colectiva e internacional en torno a las principales interrogantes y desafíos que emergen ante la creciente digitalización de la vida cotidiana, y que fueron abruptamente acentuados con la pandemia de la COVID-19. Más allá de la diversidad de temas abordados en estos casi dos años de #educarconsentido, el objetivo del presente libro es acercar a sus lectores aquellas ideas y reflexiones que estuvieron especialmente focalizadas en la universidad y sus comunidades académicas. Cada uno de los capítulos busca favorecer la comprensión de la sociedad de la cual formamos parte y plantear cómo desde las universidades no solo es posible aportar claves para la generación de conocimientos y la formación, sino también para la construcción de una sociedad más justa y democrática.

“…New managerial modes of monitoring and appraisal are the organisational tools of neoliberalism (Lynch and Grummell 2018). One of their primary objectives is the institutionalisation of market values and practices in organisational systems and processes (Clarke, Gewirtz & McLaughlin, 2000).…”

Mostly not-employed mothers set the cultural standards for 'good' parenthood and 'good' education, while childless subjects set the standards in the world of work; [those] … want to do both, will be measured by the standards set by those … that are only into one of the spheres (Bomert and Leinfellner, 2017:118, citing König, 2012: 193) Lynch, Ivancheva, O'Flynn, Keating and O'Connor 2020 Care Ceiling in Higher Education -Irish Educational Studies (pre-publication version) 2relations more generally, especially in terms of their interface with love and/or care relations with family, colleagues and students.The paper also contributes to on-going debates about the gendered and care-disinterested character of organisations, (
