Abstract: | 35 individuals (23 men and 12 women) were recruited as full-time assistant lecturers at the University of Malta around thirty years ago. By looking at their administrative responsibilities, by following their career progression, as well as by exploring publically available metrics about the quantity and quality of their scholarship, it can be argued that there is no significant difference among this cohort based on gender. This suggests that men and women in Malta can today achieve similar career destinations in academia; and existing gender gaps are therefore likely to close with the passage of time, on the basis of existing policies. |
