The mythology of the relentlessly working scholar who has dedicated “his” entire life to research has started to crumble. From a gender perspective, this naturally brings up the question as to the meaning of work culture for the continuing underrepresentation of women in scholarship, and in particular in leading positions. At the same time, the gradual “discovery” of the private sphere for men, who now should (can) also be fathers and partners, adds to this demythologization. The collected volume at hand looks at the balancing act women and men must achieve between work and private life. On the basis of numerous empirical examinations, the book provides a comprehensive panorama rich in insights into the combinations of individual and structural demands placed on working academics.
