@OtherSociology@AlongsideWild question after job confirmed as going not really interested in truly making a difference.
@VicMetcalf_NZ Fortunately not all senior women are like this. Need to change academic model where competition makes women's success hareder

@OtherSociology agreed. Mine is a v low women Uni. Just 12% women in my Faculty and will be 5% in my dept (1 aged 60) when I go in 2 wks -
@VicMetcalf_NZ Sadly these gender dynamics make academia even more hostile to women; expected to conform to masculine norms to succeed -
@OtherSociology I'm surrounded by that esp where I am or women viewed as administrators/teachers whilst academics, not researchers -
@VicMetcalf_NZ Cold comfort but this also sadly reflected in empirical literature - women pushed to "service gully"https://twitter.com/madamscientist/status/531270503978512384 … -
@OtherSociology hmm familiar. I got told by HOD that as I was parttime I should just focus on teaching & research could wait for a few yrs
