National Minorities in Serbian Academia: The Role of Gender and Language Barriers

Autor Karolina Lendák-Kabók
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 6 iul 2022
This book offers an intersectional analysis of secondary and tertiary educational pathways of ethnic Hungarians, Romanians and Slovaks in the Autonomous Province of Vojvodina, Serbia. After a detailed overview of the legal and institutional context of national minority education in Serbia, the book presents qualitative and quantitative research results to illuminate the often invisible linguistic and cultural barriers that national minority high school graduates, university students and faculty may encounter. The author also focuses on the position of national minority women in Serbian higher education and academia, shedding light on the very gendered nature of the ‘glass ceiling’ that often holds members of national minority communities back from career building. This book will be of interest to policymakers seeking nuanced interpretations of multifocal inequalities, as well as academics in fields such as gender studies, migration studies, minority languages and communities, and the sociology of education.

Recenzii

“Lendák-Kabók’s study is very important, meticulously researched and analyzed with a  competent familiarity with relevant theoretical texts, while supported by an impressive bibliography. This book is a major contribution to research on gender and ethnic spaces in higher education, not only in Serbia. Its results can be easily applied to other similar multiethnic contexts in Central and Eastern Europe, but also beyond.” (Agatha Schwartz, Hungarian Studies Review, Vol. 50 (1-2), November, 2023)

Textul de pe ultima copertă

“Karolina Lendák-Kabók provides a chilling look at the obstacles facing women from the largest ethnic minorities in Serbia as they make their way in the academy. Adopting an intersectional framework, combined with quantitative and qualitative data, she shows how gender, ethnicity, and linguistic community interact in keeping minority women from rising to the top in higher education. A must-read for anyone interested in the problem of the ‘glass ceiling’ from an Eastern European perspective.”
Kathy Davis, VU University, Amsterdam, The Netherlands
"Lendák-Kabók’s fascinating study of the multi-ethnic northern Serbian province of Vojvodina provides all-new insights into ethnic language schooling systems, national minorities in the Serbian higher education system, and unique gender challenges faced by Hungarian, Slovak, and Romanian women academics. By situating her in-depth research in the larger context of Central and Eastern Europe and the European Union, Lendák-Kabók challenges some of our prior notions of the “language barriers” faced by national linguistic minorities in pursuing higher education and academic careers.”
