Women in the Greek Academia: Difficulties, Challenges and Identity Formation at the National Technical University of Athens (NTUA)

Abstract
This dissertation, drawing from in-depth interviews with female university members of the National and Technical University of Athens, seeks to highlight the gendered nature of the university, to understand the obstacles they encounter throughout their university career, along with the strategies they opt for, in order to overcome them. It is apparent from the research subjects' arguments that despite their difficult and slow career development, my interlocutors choose not to include gender in the difficulties and delays they encountered in order to be perceived "on equal terms" with their male colleagues. Instead, they focus on their agency in order to emphasize those constituents of their personality (hard work, perseverance) that have led them to achievement and success. This attitude seems to derive from a perpetual naturalization of gendered schemas which burden university women and prevent them from developing on an equal footing with their male counterparts. Consequently the visible and invisible discrimination existing within their academic work environment is silenced and the possibilities for subverting the current order of things remain limited.
