Abstract

The issue of sexual harassment of early-career academics in Ireland has recently been brought to the fore through the mainstream media. Little research has been undertaken, however, on highlighting and documenting such experiences, leading to a lack of awareness and dearth of specifically targeted initiatives for this cohort. The authors, themselves early-career academics, attempt to highlight this problem by sharing data generated through focus group interviews with early-career academics, who reported experiences of sexual harassment in the context of challenges they faced in their work environment. The data presented here are shared to highlight these issues as being more common among early-career academics than believed. The authors call for further research to be undertaken focusing on early-career academics in order to raise awareness of such issues and for more resources to be developed to prevent and respond to sexual harassment and violence in higher education in Ireland.
我是个麻烦制造者":关注爱尔兰早期职业学者性骚扰经历的必要性
最近,主流媒体将爱尔兰早期职业学者遭受性骚扰的问题推到了风口浪尖。然而,关于强调和记录此类经历的研究却少之又少,导致人们对这一问题缺乏认识,也缺乏专门针对这一群体的措施。作者本身就是职业生涯初期的学者,他们试图通过分享与职业生涯初期的学者进行焦点小组访谈所产生的数据来强调这一问题,这些学者报告了他们在工作环境中所面临的挑战背景下的性骚扰经历。这里分享的数据旨在强调,这些问题在早期职业学者中比人们认为的更为普遍。作者呼吁进一步开展以早期职业学者为重点的研究,以提高对此类问题的认识,并开发更多的资源来预防和应对爱尔兰高等教育中的性骚扰和性暴力。
