Issues including homophily and related difficulties in findinghelpful mentors and role models\, along with unintended exclusion from informal social groups. These act to hamper women’s participation in important networks. Moreover\, commentators have argued that academia itself is founded on inherentlypatriarchical systems and structures\, and that these emerge in the gendering of the division of labour in relation to teaching\, research and administrative roles\, along with working practices that present obstacles to fulfilling familial responsibilities and caring roles. In contrast to this\, for others\, universities remain ‰Û÷gender blind’\, with career advancement and participation ostensibly open to all. In this seminar we are fortunate to bring together scholars from Ireland and the UK who will present recent empirical findings and new theoretical insights in this area. \nAll are welcome. Please contact Kate Kenny kate.kenny@nuigalway.ie to reserve a place. \nThe seminar is organized by NUI Galway’s Work Society and Governance cluster\, and the Public Policies and Gender cluster (Gender ARC). \nSchedule\n1.00 WelcomeMarianna Fotaki\, Reader in health policy and organisation studies.Manchester Business School\, University of Manchester.Of women\, gender and inequality in academe: Bringing feminism back to dispel yet another wicked issue \n2.00 Tea and Coffee \n2.30Kelly Coate\, Lecturer in teaching and learning in Higher Education and Vice Dean (Graduate Studies) in the College of Arts\, Social Sciences and Celtic Studies\, NUI Galway.Indicators of esteem: Gender and prestige in academic work \n3.30 Pat O’Connor\, Professor of Sociology and Social Policy\, University of Limerick.Organisational Culture in University Senior Management: A Cross National Perspective \n4.30 Discussion and reflection: Anne Byrne\, Lecturer at School of Political Science and Sociology\, NUI Galway. \n5.00 Close \nPlease join us for an informal dinner after the workshop \nPAPER ABSTRACTS:Of women\, gender and inequality in academe: Bringing feminism back to dispel yet another wicked issueMarianna FotakiWomen’s underrepresentation in senior ranks across academic disciplines is welldocumented. Yet\, the majority of analyses of women’s discrimination in academiacontinue to focus on the institutionally-oriented approaches\, and the importance ofstructural barriers of patriarchy. This leaves the issue of subjectivity untheorised andimpedes our understanding of gendered academic institutions at work. The aim of thisarticle is to apply psychosocial approaches enabling us to think differently about thesocially situated subject. First\, I draw on conceptions of women’s ‰Û÷otherness’ viaIrigaray and Kristeva\, and then turn to Butler’s (1997) idea of subject-ion\, which issustained and reproduced as an instrument of the subject becomingness and theprecondition for her agency. Second\, I apply the critique of post-feminism byMcRobbie (2009)\, with an intention to rehabilitate the demands of feminism aspertinent to dispelling the logic of inequality and subordination of women inacademia as yet another ‰Û÷wicked issue’. The findings of a study looking into theexperiences of women in management and business schools in England are thendiscussed in light of the proposed theory. \nIndicators of esteem: Gender and prestige in academic workKelly CoateThis paper draws on recent work on the prestige economy in relation to academicmotivation by developing a gendered notion of prestige. Blackmore and Kandiko(2011) have proposed a framework for interpreting aspects of academic work whichmotivate academics to achieve success. Aside from financial gain\, they propose thatacademics are motivated by the work itself and factors related to prestige. Given thatwomen are less well represented at senior levels in academia\, there is a question as towhether there are gendered aspects to these motivational factors. Far from suggestingthat women are less motivated than men\, I will use a feminist materialist analysis toargue that women\, for a number of socio-cultural reasons\, find it harder to enter theprestige economy in order to gain the indicators of esteem that they can trade forfurther advancement to their careers. Data from a recent survey of academics atNUIG on career progression will be used to illustrate how the prestige economyoperates to the advantages of those who have access to the masculine\, homosocialculture within this context. \nOrganisational Culture in University Senior Management: A Cross National PerspectivePat O’ConnorOrganisational culture is typically presented as meritocratic in universities. In thatcontext the under-representation of women in university senior management can beseen as reflecting that absence of merit. It will be suggested that such a conclusionignores the gendering of definitions of merit in academia and the importance of socialcapital in accessing such positions. Using data collected in a cross national study\, anddrawing on Sinclair’s (1998) analytical model\, the paper will present a typologyinvolving denial; identification of women as ‘the problem’; incremental adjustmentand commitment to a new culture. It will be suggested that\, using this model\, it ispossible to position the eight countries in the cross national study (i.e. Australia; NewZealand; Portugal; UK; Turkey; South Africa; Sweden and Ireland). The paper willconclude by suggesting that the organisational culture of Irish universities at seniormanagement level is not unrelated to the disinterest of the state in this issue. Thewider implications of the study for the perpetuation of gender as a social structure(Reisman\, 2004)\, with a particular focus on Ireland will be briefly discussed. \nThe event is supported by the Institute for Business\, Social Sciences and Public Policy at NUIGalway\, and URL:https://mooreinstitute.ie/event/gender-and-academic-work/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Dublin:20120424T130000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Dublin:20120424T130000 DTSTAMP:20260407T000635 CREATED:20160824T134735Z LAST-MODIFIED:20160824T134735Z UID:2573-1335272400-1335272400@mooreinstitute.ie SUMMARY:Dr. Marianna Fotaki - TCC Seminar Series - University of Manchester - Of women\, gender and inequality in academe: Bringing feminism back to dispel yet another wicked issue DESCRIPTION:Marianna Fotaki\, Reader in health policy and organisation studies.Manchester Business School\, University of Manchester.Of women\, gender and inequality in academe: Bringing feminism back todispel yet another wicked issue URL:https://mooreinstitute.ie/event/dr-marianna-fotaki-tcc-seminar-series-university-of-manchester-of-women-gender-and-inequality-in-academe-bringing-feminism-back-to-dispel-yet-another-wicked-issue/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Dublin:20120423T160000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Dublin:20120423T160000 DTSTAMP:20260407T000635 CREATED:20160824T134740Z LAST-MODIFIED:20160824T134740Z UID:2617-1335196800-1335196800@mooreinstitute.ie SUMMARY:Professor Claire Culleton - Kent State University - 'Life after the PhD: a series of conversations with visiting scholars' DESCRIPTION:Life after the PhD: a series of conversations with visiting scholars We are pleased to announce the second event of the ‰Û÷Life after the PhD‰۪ seminar series.

In other words the scarce sensitivity towards the needs and rights of contemporary immigrants and refugees to Italy\, and the scarce appreciation for their contributions to Italian society and economy\, would relate to Italians’ inability or unwillingness to remember that they had been migrants themselves. This interpretation mirrors a similar understanding of Italian supposed amnesia about its colonial past. Against this prevailing interpretation of the relationship between emigration and immigration in Italy\, this paper will argue that memories of Italian emigration have not been forgotten and that Italian hostility towards immigrants is to be related to a much more complex attempt by Italians to cope with manifestations of otherness\, both in Italy and abroad. Employing the psychoanalytical frame of the uncanny -drawing inspiration from the Freudian suggestions about the unheimliche\, and later interpretations by philosophers such as Martin Heidegger\, Jacques Lacan\, Julia Kristeva and Slavoj ÌÉå_iÌÉå_ek- I will argue that at least since Italian unification there has been a consistent and peculiar Italian way of reacting to the void between the imaginary unity of the nation and its actual fragmentation (due to both its geopolitical history and to mass migration). My argument is that otherness and fragmentation are constituent elements of any Italian identity\, and that instead of being enjoyed\, celebrated and nurtured they have been too often repressed. As a result of this repression\, new and recurring manifestations of difference are threatening for Italians not simply because they challenge the (imaginary) unity of their nation and their local community\, but above all because they mirror the alterity\, the otherness that already exists within the nation (and within the community\, the family and the individual). It is here that the concept of the uncanny becomes particularly pertinent\, expressing the emotional reaction in front of something or someone that is stranger and other and yet at the same time familiar\, precisely because of his/her otherness. \nFrancesco Ricatti is Cassamarca Senior Lecturer at the University of the Sunshine Coast\, Queensland\, Australia. He coordinates the Italian language program and teaches migration history. He is the author of Embodying Migrants: Italians in Postwar Australia (Bern\, Peter Lang\, 2011). He has published various book chapters on migration and on football\, as well as articles in academic journals\, including Australian Journal of Politics and History\, History Australia\, Annali d’Italianistica and (forthcoming in 2012) Women’s History Review and Modern Italy. He is the co-editor with Penny Morris and Mark Seymour of a recently published volume on Politica ed emozioni nella storia d’Italia dal 1848 a oggi (Rome\, Viella\, 2012)\, and a forthcoming special issue of the journal Modern Italy on Emotions in Italy.
