'Bending and Morphing': The Department of Women's Studies at the University of Adelaide Continues Past its Twenty Year Anniversary
2014
Overview
During an examination of the impact of global neo-liberal capitalism on institutionalized feminism in South Africa, Gouws (2012) notes that political or ideological imperatives to Women's/Gender Studies often compete with pertinent economic concerns. [...]academics committed to feminist activism and academic teaching are forced to compromise these priorities in order to comply with a market driven agenda. Many academics in American, British and Australian tertiary institutions began to respond to the absence of women in the curriculum by including women in courses - \"adding the missing\" (O'Barr, 1989: 5) - particularly within the Humanities and Social Sciences.\\n Currently, women outnumber men as undergraduate students in universities, \"although they still remain under-represented in higher degree research programs and in some non-traditional areas such as engineering and information technology\" (Bradley et al 2008).
