“…They follow a private management model with the explicit aim of enhancing flexibility and efficiency in contrast to Spanish universities, which they perceive as old and very bureaucratic institutions. At universities, alongside the research career ladder, there is also a pathway of career progression that integrates teaching and administration (Castaño, 2016).…”

“…This situation prompts workers to value adaptability and flexibility and to develop entrepreneurial skills (Coin, 2017). Although new managerial values were supposed to bring gender equality into academia (Castaño, 2016), many studies stress major pressures on women to adjust to this highly masculinized culture where they still constitute 'the other' (Acker & Armenti, 2004;Grant & Elizabeth, 2015;Thomas & Davies, 2002; Van den Brink & Benschop, 2012b;Whitehead, 1998).…”

From a Foucauldian approach, neoliberal rationality in science can be understood as a form of governance of the self that produces mechanisms through which the subject is constructed and subordinated at the same time. In this study we examine subjectivation processes and gender in centres of research created under neoliberal scientific rationality. We analyse 19 semi‐structured interviews of men and women researchers conducted in three highly competitive centres of excellence — a context rarely addressed in the literature of academic subjectivities. Following a critical discourse analysis, we show how subjectivation processes of neoliberal rationality result in two main discursive mechanisms of subjection that prevent or hinder alternative subjectivities and collective resistance, especially for women, presenting a double turn that we call: a ‘turn on oneself’ and a ‘gendered turn on oneself’. We conclude that these centres are spaces which provide the conditions of possibility to develop a scientific entrepreneurial self, excluding ‘other’ scientific subjectivities and preventing possible resistances that could emerge from them.

Sexual and sexist harassment in Spanish universities: policy implementation and resistances against gender equality measures

The legal mandate to mainstream gender equality in Spain's universities has led to the establishment of gender equality units and the adoption of gender equality policy plans and protocols against sexual harassment. This research looks at how gender equality policies have been implemented within universities and what resisting and facilitating factors have hindered and promoted their implementation. These questions are addressed by studying the implementation of the 'Protocol against sexual and sexist harassment' at the biggest public Spanish university, Madrid Complutense University. Through a combination of content analysis, interviews, and a survey involving the university community, we show how the implementation of university policies against sexual harassment is dependent on a combination of factors against (obstacles/resistances) and in favour (opportunities/alliances). These factors include the form of institutionalization that gender equality took within the university, the existing formal and informal institutions, inertial resistances, and prevailing ideas about gender equality. We argue that implementation of the protocol was impeded by the scant awareness of the prevalence of harassment in daily university life, and the concomitant acceptance, by the academic community, of the phenomenon as a 'normal' practice.
