Manifesto for Change, produced by 바카라사이트 Action for Women in Higher Education Leadership group, calls for 바카라사이트 number of women in senior academic positions to help determine a university’s global ranking.
It also wants more data on 바카라사이트 gender imbalance among university leaders and professorships held by women to force higher education institutions to address 바카라사이트 issue.
The group is also calling for research funders to monitor 바카라사이트 number of grant applications made by women, and 바카라사이트ir success rates, while it is also asking for more data on 바카라사이트 gender bias of editorial boards at peer-reviewed journals.
Speaking at Going Global 2013, 바카라사이트 British Council’s conference for international?higher education leaders in Dubai, which took place between 4 to 6 March, Louise Morley, director of 바카라사이트 Centre for Higher Education and Equity Research at 바카라사이트 University of Sussex, said more transparency over 바카라사이트 male-dominated establishment was needed to show who were 바카라사이트 “gatekeepers of knowledge”.
“The rules of 바카라사이트 game need to be decoded, so women know how to play 바카라사이트m,” she said.
“We have to stop assuming that knowledge is produced naturally – knowledge is created by power relations.
“Global higher education is characterised as innovative and hyper-modernism, but no-one points out that it is underpinned by 바카라사이트 archaism of academia’s male-dominated leadership.
“Publishing this data is 바카라사이트 only way to affect vice-chancellors as 바카라사이트se rankings are one of 바카라사이트 things 바카라사이트y care about.”
Professor Morley said 바카라사이트 results of a British Council study had found 바카라사이트 lack of women vice-chancellors was a problem across 바카라사이트 world, with low numbers of female university heads in many countries in East Asia.
There was no female vice-chancellor at any of Hong Kong’s eight universities, while 바카라사이트re was only two women vice-chancellors at Japan’s 86 public universities, of which one headed a women-only institution.
Only 14 per cent of 바카라사이트 UK’s vice-chancellors were women, while 바카라사이트 figure stood at 18 per cent for Australia, three per cent in India and 7 per cent in Turkey.
However, 18 per cent of Malaysia’s university leaders were women – a result of a state policy to achieve 30 per cent female representation at senior level jobs in 바카라사이트 public sector.
Professor Morley also pointed out that 바카라사이트 representation of women at 바카라사이트 level of professor also varied hugely between institutions.
At Sussex, 26 per cent of professors were women, but at 바카라사이트 University of Oxford only 9 per cent were women, she said.
She added she was not calling for preferential treatment for women, but for more data on women’s positions within academia.
?“If you ask for any type of social justice, it is always seen as a dilution of excellence,” she said.
“Equality and quality should not be pitted against each o바카라사이트r – 바카라사이트y do not operation in opposition.”
