Title Being a Female Scholar in mid-1980s???mid-2000s: Transition to Post-Soviet and Academic Mobility
Summary In this research I address the status, life-world, and self-perception of female scholars from post-Soviet Russian academia who have had entered universities as students or researchers before the dismissal of the USSR. The primary question I want to explore is the shifting of positions and changes of life-worlds of female academics in the post-Soviet years.
Academic mobility serves in this research as part of a broader context of structural changes in the post-Soviet society, that inherited a lot from the late Soviet epoch, including the ‘tools’ that could help to adjust during the transition period.
Series of interviews with female academics might help to determine the existence and strength of instruments of confinement that still are in place within the gendered field of post-Soviet academia.
