Summary

Women academics face significant disparities in pay, grading, and research assessment scores compared to men. This study argues that systemic academic masculinity disadvantages women, particularly in nursing, due to structural discrimination and biased evaluation methods.

Area of Science:

Higher Education
Gender Studies
Sociology of Science

Background:

Persistent gender disparities in academic remuneration, grading, and Performance-Based Research Fund (PBRF) scores are evident.
These gaps exist both within universities and between different tertiary education sectors.
A devaluation of academic fields with feminized knowledge bases suggests broader structural discrimination against women.

Purpose of the Study:

To critically examine the PBRF evaluation methodology in the context of women's underperformance in academia.
To explore the systemic factors contributing to the failure of women to progress in academic careers.
To analyze how academic structures and the PBRF exercise may embody an 'academic masculinity' that disadvantages women.

Main Methods:

Theoretical examination of structural discrimination and academic masculinity within higher education.

Main Results:

Women academics consistently underperform men in remuneration, grading, and PBRF scores.
Gender-based outcome gaps are present across various academic institutions and sectors.
The PBRF evaluation methodology and the broader academic environment appear to systematically disadvantage women.

Conclusions:

Individualized explanations for women's lack of academic progression are insufficient.
The PBRF research assessment exercise and academia itself exhibit characteristics of 'academic masculinity'.
This systemic bias disproportionately affects women academics, with a notable impact on the nursing field.
