Reading Networks through Gender Lenses. Scientific Collaborations at the University of Naples, Federico II

The objective of this chapter is thus to carry out an exploratory analysis of the position women hold in two different case studies in an academic setting. The selected case studies are degree courses offered at the University of Naples Federico II - the first one is related to the Social Sciences Department and the second one to the Humanities. This chapter is mainly concerned with the level of feminization, the presence or absence of a glass ceiling, and the role of women in collaborative networks.
