Abstract | Following a qualitative analysis of interviews with 16 current and former social scientists at the University of Iceland, we argue for the existence of an individual and implicit form of resistance to gender equality that we call "hijacking the discourse." In a neoliberal culture of higher education that favors individual emancipation in an academic marketplace, a collective understanding of inequality as rooted in larger systems of power is in danger of becoming diluted. In modern universities, this is sometimes expressed through performative and inadequately implemented gender equality policies. The hijacking of gender equality discourse among academic knowledge workers echo this performativity of existing policies and maintains the aura of gender equality necessitated by a neoliberal academic culture. (As Provided). |
