About this event

When: Fri, 05 Nov, 13h

Where: via Zoom

This event will promote a debate on the rise in precarious academic employment in Ireland to shed new light on work precarity issues in academia. Women are particularly overrepresented in increasing numbers of contingent academics who cannot find permanent employment. While the casualisation of work means that increasing numbers of academics, both male and female, are now subject to the precarious, low-paid work, piece-work conditions are long endured mostly by women.

If you are concerned about the emergence of a new precarious workforce, predominantly female, and precarious positions of early career academics, especially women, and want to understand how we can challenge the gender inequality in academia, join WIRI for this informative and honest webinar. Topics discussed will include:

• Working conditions in universities

• The intersection of precarious work, gender and minorities in higher education

• Distress, financial insecurity and impossibility of planning a future

• Contractual job security

• Feminization of academic labour

• Women’s over‐represented in part‐time and fixed‐term positions

• Devaluation of care work

• Challenges for female academics of colour

• Lack of professional recognition

Zoom link will be emailed following ticket reservation. Questions are encouraged from attendees via the Zoom Q&A box. Questions can be submitted anonymously.
