Abstract
The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the labor force is not gender-neutral. Despite both genders (men, women) being affected by disruptions in the workplace, women are particularly vulnerable due to long-standing occupational gender segregation and labor market inequalities. This chapter aims to provide a sneak peek into the research published before April 2022 concerning women academics’ experiences during the pandemic, diving into the research discourse that first surfaced. Understanding the gender impact of the pandemic on academia is crucial for those interested in addressing gender disparities and inequalities within the profession. The chapter seeks to answer the following question: how does research discourse represent the experiences of women academics during the pandemic?
