Chapter 7 in Gender, Power and Management, 2011, pp 168-191 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Universities present themselves as gender-neutral meritocracies, concerned with the transmission and creation of scientific, objective knowledge. However, it is now widely accepted that they are in fact gendered organisations (Brooks 2001; Collinson & Hearn 1996; Currie, Thiele & Harris 2002; Deem, Hilliard & Reed 2008; Hearn 2001; Morley 1994, 1999). In this chapter the focus is on the broader organisational culture, focussing particularly on its gendered character as seen through the eyes of senior academic managers.
