Management positions; Women; University Management; Inclusive management; Gender equality.
The theme of this research concerns gender relations, focusing on the representation of women in management positions at the Federal University of São João del-Rei (UFSJ). The objective is to analyze the management positions, in relation to the gender of their occupant, at UFSJ. A document search was carried out on the UFSJ electronic portal and semi-structured interviews were carried out with the current Dean and former Deans of the university. The interviews were analyzed by the French Discourse Analysis (AFD). The results show that the UFSJ deans have always been concerned that the management represent the different members of the academic community, including women, however the institution has always presented a lower female participation in management, which has been remedied over time and currently the university has a more balanced distribution in terms of female participation in management. However, the institution never bothered to create policies and tools to promote the participation of women in high positions.
