Between reproductive work and admission to the SNI: a dilemma for university female academics
Abstract
The recognition systems for research work for the academic staff of higher education institutions (HEIs) are mechanisms created under the premise of encouraging the quality of education through economic incentives for teachers, but in practice they constitute one of the factors that reinforce inequities in access to economic resources between men and women in the academy. The objective of this research is to explore the case of the Universidad Michoacana de San Nicolás de Hidalgo (UMSNH) to identify the differences experienced by academics to enter and remain in the National System of Researchers (SNI). It is an exploratory study of information from different university administrative units, as well as a survey applied to a simple random sample of 221 members of the academic staff. In particular, the answers obtained in 14 of 52 questions that made up the questionnaire were taken. The data shows that women represent just a little more than a quarter of the total number of teachers who are recognized by the SNI and are located, mainly, in the category of National Researcher, level 1. In conclusion, it is argued that it is necessary to work to achieve the institutionalization of an equity perspective that means its incorporation into the daily routines of all spaces and levels of the university, as well as the structures that organize its policies, so that said perspective guides the choice of alternatives and the evaluation of practices.
