本文探讨了两个项目的调查结果，这些项目探讨了英国大学中雅典娜天鹅 (ASC) 和种族平等 (REC) 特许标志的影响和机构经验。这篇文章对这两个特许标志如何塑造和影响大学实践提供了重要、及时和原创的见解。我们认为，在高等教育政策制定中，在解决高等教育不平等问题方面，性别优先于种族。尽管承认两个群体中持续存在不平等现象，但我们项目的数据突显了性别和种族不平等在当前平等工作中混为一谈的重大风险。我们认为，由于效率逻辑驱使高等教育机构（HEIs）将性别和种族平等工作结合起来，以及这种性别组合中的特权，高等教育机构可以公开致力于一般意义上的平等和包容，而不必面对在学院中延续白人特权的令人不安和根深蒂固的做法。
This article explores findings from two projects that explore the impacts and institutional experiences of the Athena SWAN (ASC) and Race Equality (REC) Charter Marks in UK universities. The article offers an important, timely and original insight into the ways that these two charter marks are shaping and influencing practice in universities. We argue that in higher education policymaking, there has been a privileging of gender over race in terms of addressing inequalities in higher education. Whilst acknowledging the persistence of inequalities in both groups, the data from our projects highlight a significant risk that gender and race inequalities become conflated in current equalities work. We argue that as a consequence of a logic of efficiency that drives Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) to combine gender and race equalities work, and the privileging within this combination of gender, HEIs can publicly work towards equality and inclusion in general terms, without having to confront uncomfortable and deeply embedded practices that perpetuate White privilege in the academy.
