Chapter Docenti e studenti dell’Università di Firenze: una lettura di genere

Abstract

The chapter investigates the issue of the feminization of the University of Florence by looking at both the teaching and student populations. Starting from a synthesis of previous research works we focus more specifically in last 20-year, a period characterized by some important legislative-institutional changes regarding access to university careers that potentially affect women's representation. As far as students are concerned, moreover, starting from 2003 allows the transition to the 3+2 system introduced with the 1999 reform to be taken as complete, thus enabling us to reason about a more homogeneous universe of enrolled and graduated.
