dc.description.abstractThis paper considers recent attempts to introduce managerial reform in higher education. In exploring the issues the paper draws on an interviewing programme conducted with female and male academics in Sweden and England responsible for delivering change: heads of department, heads of division and principal lecturers. The aim is to examine the implications for the day-to-day work of academics arising from the reforms and to consider the gender implications. The paper conceptualises the areas of academic responsibility along the following dimensions identified by the academics themselves: dog work, tough work, care work, real work and nice work. In bringing into sharper focus the harsher realities of academe, and exploring the overlap and connectivity between gender and academic labour, it is argued that intellectual labour is hard work indeed, particularly for women.pt_PT
dc.description.abstractEste artigo revê as recentes tentativas de reformar a gestão na educação superior. O artigo baseia-se num conjunto de entrevistas efectuadas com académicos homens e mulheres responsáveis pela implementação de mudanças: chefes de departamentos, chefes de divisão e docentes. O objectivo é explorar as implicações para o trabalho corrente dos académicos resultantes das reformas, assim como avaliar as implicações em termos de género sexual. O artigo considera as seguintes áreas de responsabilidade académica, as quais foram identificadas pelos próprios académicos: trabalho de cão, trabalho duro, trabalho de ajuda, verdadeiro trabalho, e trabalho interessante. Ao realçar a dura realidade do mundo académico, e ao explorar a sobreposição e relações entre género sexual e trabalho académico, o artigo argumenta que trabalho intelectual é, na realidade, trabalho árduo, particularmente para as mulheres.pt_PT
