workspaces&gender - The relation between workspaces and gender in academia: an interdisciplinary approach

Politecnico di Milano (POLIMI) and Università Cattolica (UNICATT) study the role of physical spaces (i.e., workspaces) on scientific productivity and well-being of women and men in academia. It is well known that a gender gap exists in academia. Compared to men, women obtain fewer funds, have less prestigious positions, and experience lower scientific productivity and well-being (e.g., Flores Niemann et al., 2020). A broad research stream shows that workspaces are gendering and gendered; namely, they influence gender differences and reproduce gendered norms and work practices. Accordingly, workspaces differently influence women’s and men’s productivity and well-being (e.g., work-life balance, job, satisfaction). Literature on the causes of the gender gap in academia has under-remarked the role of workspaces. The project puts forth this research issues.

L’accordo interdipartimentale prevede che il laboratorio MAUD del DASTU fornisca attività di supporto al DIG in materia di analisi ed elaborazione dei dati spaziali, attraverso lo svolgimento delle seguenti attività:
- supporto metodologico per l'identificazione delle fonti di dati utili per lo svolgimento della ricerca;
- acquisizione ed elaborazione dati con strumenti GIS;
- costruzione di indicatori di sintesi e di mappe tematiche.
