Geschlechterarrangements in den Entrepreneurial Universities. Ein Blick auf Disziplinen, Arbeits- und weitere Lebensverhältnisse

The restructuring of the public sector in the OECD countries, due to the introduction of New Public Management tools, has also reached the universities and academic site. These processes have far-reaching consequences for the organisation of the university, and yet it is unclear how and to what extent the organisational changes affect the gender arrangements on which the universities were founded in the past. By looking closer at the university reforms in Austria and Germany, the article examines standards of academic excellence, academic ways of life and career systems. Focusing on disciplinary contexts and new job profiles, the article shows how gender arrangements could be changed, restructured or newly formed within the current change processes.
