Abstract

The article explores gender inequality in academic careers, focusing on female adjunct professors in Italy. It highlights how women face barriers in advancing to senior academic roles and accessing tenured positions, despite an increase in fixed-term positions. The study compares the working conditions of male and female adjunct professors, revealing disparities in socio-economic variables and career trajectories. The research also discusses the impact of neoliberal culture on the academic system and the challenges faced by adjunct professors, particularly women, in navigating precarious academic work.
