“…Even though we can currently say that gender studies (women and gender studies) is now a consolidated academic field of teaching, learning and research, that has immensely grown in recent decades (has space in buildings and on library shelves, being represented by professorships and scholarships, specialist degrees and courses, dedicated conferences and publications, physical and online networks, and professional associations) (Pereira, 2018, p. 180) the process can hardly be described as being easy, uniform, linear, progressive. Au contraire, lots of debates, attacks, back steps, critiques were brought to the light over time, some of them related even with the name of the field (Hemmings, 2006;Pereira, 2017;Pereira, 2018). For instance, it is notorious that the case of the Central European University (CEU) attacks against genders studies programs ended in closing the university and moving it to Vienna.…”

In the context of promoting economic dynamics as the driving force of designing public policies, some fields of studies (areas of education) proved to be more provocative regarding the way they managed to create their own area both in relation with the democratic imperative of making citizens good people and with the neoliberal one, the one of training skilled market/profit-oriented labour force. Gender studies are one of the fields whose institutionalization (establishing/recognizing as a norm) and professionalization (the establishment of new professions in the employment sector has always been complex, difficult and even contested. Lots of variables are being used in order to explain this multidimensional reality, and it is necessary to underline once again that to train competences for the labour market as well as for the human activity (as values and needs) is quite difficult. In order to emphasize the process of institutionalization and professionalization of gender studies I will use two frames of analysis. I will first present what I consider important -the macro-European dynamics which over time drew up the frame for the institutionalization, consolidation and professionalization of genders studies. Secondly, I will have a closer look into the Romanian case which will be in-depth described, analysed and used as an example in order to have a better understanding of the on-going and subtle process that links gender studies education to the labour environment.

“…Moreover, the progressive institutional presence of Gender Studies in the country has been accompanied by a prevailing notion that this field produces ideology rather than scientific knowledge (Vieira 2007, p. 176). It has faced challenges in terms of academic legitimacy, being viewed as having a "dubious academic legitimation" (Pinto 2008, p. 27) and a fragile "epistemic status" (Pereira 2018). These challenges arise from various sources, including traditional positivist epistemologies, emerging academic perspectives that proclaim the obsolescence of categories such as "women" or "feminism" (the so-called post-feminist discourses) and from populist anti-gender countermovements.…”

From Late Bloomer to Booming: A Bibliometric Analysis of Women’s, Gender, and Feminist Studies in Portugal

et al. 2023

Women’s, Gender, and Feminist Studies (WGFS) in Portugal emerged relatively late compared to other European countries, and a systematic quantitative analysis of Portuguese research in this field is lacking. This article addresses this gap by conducting a pioneering bibliometric analysis of WGFS publications by scholars based in Portugal between 1995 and 2021, utilizing data from the Web of Science. The analysis reveals several key findings, including a significant growth in WGFS productivity in the 2010s, a high level of internationalization of Portuguese production, and the increasing prominence of specific themes and theoretical perspectives, such as LGBTQIA+ studies and intersectionality. By examining the trajectory of Portuguese scholarship in WGFS since the 1990s, this study provides valuable insights and opens important avenues for future research.
