‘ Publish or perish ’ : Family life and academic research productivity
نویسنده
چکیده
A large body of literature exists across different contexts on unequal societal role burdens experienced by the different sexes (Cornwall, Harrison & Whitehead, 2007; Faust, 2013; Jacobs, 1996; Kabeer, 2005; Powell, 2005; Rao, 2006; Rao & Kelleher, 2003; Smyth, 2007; Unterhalter & North, 2011; Wendoh & Wallace, 2005), as well as in the South African context (Geisler, 2000; Hassim, 2006; McEwan, 2000; Rogan, 2013; Seidman, 1993; Wood & Jewkes, 1997). There is agreement across the literature that differences in societal practices relating to the organising of social relations (Ridgeway & Correll, 2004) largely underlie these gender differences and that inequality exists in the burden of home-making, childcare and family roles (Dilworth, 2004; Dilworth & Kingsbury, 2005) as well as in the gender differentiation associated with certain roles, such as teaching (Hattie & Marsh, 1996) and research roles (Barbezat, 2006) in universities.
