    Gender and academic career trajectories in Spain. From gendered passion to consecration in a Sistema Endogámico?
    (Employee Relations, 2006) Elston, Mary Ann; Vázquez Cupeiro, María Susana
    The purpose of this research is to illuminate the processes that give rise to gendered career pathways in Spanish academia, tracing how individuals might move from academic “passion” to academic “consecration” in a setting in which both visible and veiled discrimination persist. By examining academics’ testimony, the paper aims to explore the production and reproduction of complex dynamics of power and gender inequalities through informal processes. Qualitative study, drawing on semi-structured interviews with 33 academics (16 female and 17 male) working in academic departments of psychology (17) and engineering (16) in three Madrid universities. Although the percentage of professors in Spanish universities who are female is relatively high, compared to many European countries, this quantitative feminization does not appear to be associated with clear institutionalization of formal gender equality policies or the elimination of tacit discriminatory practices. Despite recent measures to reform the recruitment patterns in Spanish universities towards a more meritocratic model, the tradition of a sistema endoga´mico (an “inbreeding” system) persists, under which appointments are frequently made on the basis of internal (departmental) networks. This was found to operate to the disadvantage of women in both disciplines studied. Despite the limitations inherent in a small-scale study, this paper is likely to help not only to increase awareness of gender bias, but also to contribute to the reevaluation of the current university culture in Spain which, through its ostensibly gender-neutral recruitment practices rooted in internal networks, constrains women’s career opportunities
