A MATTER OF GENDER: SEX DISCRIMINATION AGAINST WOMEN RESEARCHERS IN SPAIN

Abstract

Based on the comparison between the data available at Spanish and European levels for the period 2013-2018, this article will focus on reviewing the several discriminations that affect women researchers in the Spanish academia, articulating the analysis on three primary parameters: inequality, invisibility, and precariousness. A qualitative reading will emerge from the dialogue between the primary and secondary sources, which will delve into the psychosocial, economic, and institutional causes and consequences of sex discrimination within the R+D sector. The result will show the complex system of intricate oppressions that Spanish female researchers face as part of a global trend of the devaluation of female talent.
