本文通过重点关注离开高等教育机构学术部门的选定女性，探讨了南非女性社会学家学术生涯中的性别和种族问题。对11位在不同时间离开各个社会学系的参与者进行了深入访谈。研究发现，年轻的黑人女性学者在职业生涯中关注种族问题，但很少关注性别问题。年长的白人女性学者，尤其是那些担任过高级职务的学者，关注性别问题，只对种族问题进行简短评论。有人认为，南非黑人女性学者面临的种族挑战掩盖了性别挑战，并且只有当女性获得更高的学术职位时才会经历性别歧视。学术部门中的少数群体地位会导致种族或性别歧视的经历，尽管部门内的人口变化并不一定会导致种族或性别歧视的消除。
This article explores issues of gender and race in the academic careers of female sociologists in South Africa by focusing on selected women who left academic departments in higher education institutions. In-depth interviews were conducted with 11 participants who left various Sociology departments at different times. It was found that young black female academics dwelled on issues of race in their careers, but paid scant attention to gender. Older white female academics, especially those who had been in senior positions, focused on gender issues, with only brief comments on racial issues. It is argued that racial challenges overshadow gender challenges for black female academics in South Africa and that gender discrimination is only experienced once women reach more senior academic positions. A minority status in academic departments contributes to experiences of racial or gender discrimination, although demographic changes within departments do not necessarily lead to the eradication thereof.
