Percepción de investigadoras chilenas en ciencias sociales con respecto a su trabajo académico en tiempo de pandemia
(Universidad del Desarrollo. Facultad de Comunicaciones, 2024) Reyes-Betanzo, Claudia; Vernal Vilicic, Teresa
This mixed-method research explores the way in which researchers in Social Sciences, Arts and Humanities face the challenges of adjusting to new work dynamics in a pandemic world. For this, a survey was carried out on 54 doctors, researchers in Social Sciences and then 10 academics from the north, center and south of Chile were interviewed in depth. The results show that the COVID-19 pandemic affected the scientific productivity of women, in terms of publications and awarding of research funds. The reasons for these effects would be related to the increase in management and remote teaching that they had to assume with in their institutions and, in addition, the care of third parties and domestic chores that intensified with the extensive quarantines. It is concluded that traditional gender roles persist within higher education institutions, even in the areas of social sciences, and that with the pandemic they became even more evident.
