| Sumario: | The objective of this article is to analyze the subjectivities and experiences regarding the work-family balance of university teachers, based on a critical reading regarding the structural and symbolic scaffolding that requires women to coordinate professional work with domestic and care work. This work includes the results of the research "Higher Education and Gender at the University of Cuenca - Ecuador: current situation and perspectives 2019 - 2020", developed by the Interdisciplinary Gender Studies Research Group.
The methodology integrates the mixed quantitative and qualitative approach with the purpose of accessing the experiences of the academics from characterizing their participation in the university structure and identifying gender gaps; as well as understanding social discourses in relation to gender roles. The results confirm the existence of patriarchal conceptions about the ability of women to combine several tasks, concealing an unequal distribution of work and a double exploitation of female academics. Likewise, it is concluded that work-family balance constitutes an obstacle in the academic trajectories of university teachers. |
