Resumo

La pandèmia de COVID-19 i les polítiques públiques adoptades per fer front a la crisi subsegüent van tenir un impacte significatiu en les institucions d’ensenyament superior (ES) i de recerca, la qual cosa va captar l’atenció de nombrosos estudiosos. No obstant això, la majoria d’aquestes anàlisis, especialment les que adopten una perspectiva de gènere, s’han centrat en l’impacte sobre les dones com a individus (capacitats individuals) i han prestat poca atenció a l’impacte sobre les institucions i els processos de canvi estructural (capacitats col·lectives). L’enfocament de les capacitats (CA) és útil per analitzar les desigualtats de gènere en l’ES i també per examinar l’impacte de la crisi en determinats grups i situacions. Partint de l’adaptació d’aquest enfocament de Robeyns (2003) i de Baser i Morgan (2008) per subratllar la importància de les capacitats col·lectives per als individus, les institucions i la societat en general, aquest article examina l’impacte institucional de la pandèmia basant-se en l’experiència de sis institucions implementadores dels plans d’igualtat de gènere (GEP) en el projecte GEARING-Rols. Per fer-ho, combinem la recerca de fonts secundàries amb l’anàlisi qualitativa d’entrevistes en profunditat realitzades a representants d’aquestes entitats i observacions de reunions del projecte dutes a terme entre abril de 2020 i juny de 2022. Les nostres troballes indiquen un impacte considerable en les capacitats col·lectives dels agents de canvi de les institucions participants, que deriven principalment de la falta de compromís institucional amb l’agenda d’igualtat de gènere, les restriccions de mobilitat i les limitades relacions socials. No obstant això, també emergeixen alguns elements positius, com l’excepcional capacitat dels equips per adaptar-se a circumstàncies adverses.
