research questions |
The Gender(s) at Work project investigated the ways in which gender shapes everyday experiences of the university workplace and career trajectory over time. How does gender operate as a ‘geography of power’ within HE? How do participants’ diverse and complex lived experiences trouble the prevailing career narrative of a linear, upward trajectory?

The research was conducted within one post-1992 UK university. Participants self-identified as female, male and gender non-binary. They occupied academic and professional services roles in five grade families across the organisational hierarchy. Data collection (n=45 individual narrative interviews and a visual mapping task) took place between November 2016 and May 2017.
