Deadline mode: an analysis about academic women's time

Abstract

This text seeks to explain some of the main features of the modes how academic women experience and use time, idennifying some os its imlications for science policy. Analysing data provided by some studies done by the author, involving interviews and observation, it is argued that feminine narratives tend to weaken the strength of the individual difficulties for administrating and allocating time, as regards the importance they attached to the need they feel to respond to requirements imposed upon them by structural demands. Finally, the text makes some considerations about how science policy benefits from the consideration of gender in its intersectionality.
