Women Directors in Universities. Institutional challenges in the face of the intersectionality of gender, the professions and regional particularities
Abstract
The aim of this study is to determine the presence of women managers in different areas of the University of Guadalajara (UDG), for which have been taken into account three variables: gender, scientific disciplines and region. Specifically, the study focuses on the number of women who, according to the General Coordination of Human Resources of the UDG, occupy managerial positions in the thematic and regional university centers of this university. The results suggest that there are several factors besides institutional properly, favoring the presence of women in institutional management, primarily those related to socio-cultural contexts where UDG university centers are located. For this reason, it is suggested that more studies be carried out not only to determine the influence of women in management positions, but also to promote policies that strengthen women's leadership and the formation of professional networks.
