Gender equality in academia: a critical reflection (original) (raw)

AI-generated Abstract

This paper critically examines the trajectory of gender equality in academia, specifically within Australian universities from the mid-1980s to 2014. It highlights the significant increase in the representation of women within various academic roles, from 20% of academic staff and 6% of senior positions in the 1980s to 44% and 31%, respectively, by 2014. The analysis attributes these changes to societal transformations, government legislation, institutional strategies, and active stakeholders, thereby providing insights into the ongoing efforts and milestones in enhancing gender equity in higher education.
