Approaching gender equity in academic chemistry: lessons learned from successful female chemists in the UK

Abstract: The internationally acknowledged gender gap in science continues to be an unrelenting concern to science educators; aggregate data in the UK show that both recruitment and retention of women in academic science remain relatively low. Most published research focuses on women in the broad field of science, generates correlations or predictions, or examines the reasons why women do not participate in fields like physics or engineering. Previous work has not yet addressed how women have found ways to succeed in pa… Show more

“…Mentoring is a powerful individual development intervention that is expected to assist, support and guide academics in their career trajectory. Ingersoll et al, (2012); Abugre and Kpinpuo (2017);Friedman et al, (2018) state that academics who undergo mentoring experience higher levels of job satisfaction, self-efficacy, more productive and staff retention as compared to non-mentored academics. Literature also confirms that some of the problems and intricacies that female academics encounter with regard to their career mobility are ascribed to scanty mentorship and networking in universities (Zikhali and Maphosa, 2012).…”

“…A questão da representatividade feminina acadêmica em C&T, combinada ao fenômeno da segregação vertical no Brasil, ainda é pouco estudada na ciência em geral e na química em particular, constituindo-se quase como um tabu acadêmico (Miller-Friedmann et al, 2018, Naidek et al, 2020. Consequentemente, o presente artigo busca analisar e gerar reflexão sobre as relações de gênero em C&T, com especial enfoque na área de química, e oferecer visibilidade em sua produção e divulgação em meio à pandemia de covid-19 no Brasil.…”

“…Também é possível verificar essa disparidade no âmbito do PNQ, visto que, desde a sua criação em 1901, até a última edição, em 2019, somente cinco mulheres (3%) ganharam tal honraria (Naidek et al, 2020), mesmo não faltando fortes e competentes candidatas (Santos et al, 2019). Isso pode servir como um indício indireto da existência de uma cultura de discriminação histórica vigente em relação às mulheres, que é sistêmica, universal e permeia toda a estrutura social (Miller-Friedmann et al, 2018). Entretanto, esse problema tem a sua dimensão sociológica pouco explorada e contemplada, pois, apesar de as mulheres terem conquistado o seu espaço na ciência, sua atuação ainda é desigual em relação à atuação masculina (Moschkovich & Almeida, 2015;Naidek et al, 2020).…”
