Abstract
For several decades, feminist scholars have been producing detailed macro- and micro-level studies of processes of institutionalisation of women’s, gender and feminist studies (WGFS). Through that research, they have generated valuable knowledge about the patterns and profiles of WGFS’ institutionalisation, and the actors and factors that shape it. In this article, I review that literature and systematise some of its key findings. I then draw on an ethnography of academia to argue that, in some contexts, established patterns in the institutionalisation of WGFS are being transformed by the emergence of new models of academic governance. I identify some of those transformations and highlight the paradoxes that they generate for the institutionalisation of WGFS. I conclude by arguing that an analysis of gender studies in times of new academic governance must consider both the ‘new’ aspects of that governance and the ‘old’ inequalities that it covertly reproduces.
