高等教育中高级职位上持续存在的性别失衡是一个尽管该领域有几十年的女权主义研究和出版物，以及许多国家为促进女性进步进行了干预但仍然存在的问题。在本文中，我们从声望经济的视角来看待性别不平等问题，这表明学者受到职业晋升所积累的声望因素的激励。我们认为，声望、权威和地位可能更容易被男性学者获得。我们以爱尔兰共和国的一个机构为例进行研究，包括一项关于学术职业的调查数据（n = 269），以探究声望概念是如何具有性别差异的。我们探讨了四个主题的累积效应：同性社交性；标准不透明；学术工作量平衡；以及自我推销。
The continued gender imbalance in senior positions in higher education is a problem that persists despite decades of feminist research and publications in the area, as well as interventions in many countries to promote the advancement of women. In this article we view the issue of gender inequality through the lens of the prestige economy, which suggests that academics are motivated by prestige factors accrued through advancement in their careers. Prestige, authority and status, we suggest, may be more easily acquired by male academics. We draw on a case study of one institution in the Republic of Ireland, including data from a survey on academic careers (n = 269), to explore how the concept of prestige is gendered. We explore the cumulative effect of four themes: homosociability; non-transparency of criteria; academic workload balance; and self-promotion.
