Resumen
El Espacio de Mujeres Líderes de Instituciones de Educación Superior de las
Américas (EMULIES) se creó como una iniciativa en el 2011 como parte de la
Organización Universitaria Interamericana (OUI). Inició sus actividades con un
grupo de mujeres líderes quienes identificaron las desigualdades y
discriminaciones que ellas habían sufrido para acceder a puestos de autoridad
dentro de las universidades. Los puestos de toma de decisión se presentaban (y
se siguen presentando generalmente) como espacios de dominio masculino en
los que las mujeres deben de enfrentarse al cuestionamiento constante en soledad
por el hecho de ser mujeres.
Para sobrellevar estas vicisitudes, EMULIES se constituyó como un espacio que
convocó a las mujeres rectoras, vicerrectoras, decanas, jefas de diversas áreas y
demás, para reflexionar sobre las situaciones que vivían y para generar así
estrategias de apoyo e impulso para las mujeres que ocupaban o que buscaban
ocupar un puesto de liderazgo.
Desde su creación, EMULIES ha desarrollado tres productos principales: los
Encuentros regionales de mujeres líderes en la educación superior; un
Observatorio para analizar la situación de igualdad en las universidades sobre
todo en lo referente a los cargos de autoridad; y un Diplomado sobre las temáticas
de género y el liderazgo en la educación superior. Son estas tres actividades las
que se evaluaron en esta investigación para así poder analizar la gestión de la
iniciativa (entre el 2011 y el 2016), en base a la pertinencia, eficacia y
sostenibilidad a fin de generar mejoras en el ahora programa.
Se ha realizado para ello una investigación cualitativa con entrevistas a
profundidad a usuarias de EMULIES para conocer así sus necesidades,
expectativas y valoración sobre el funcionamiento del programa. Como resultado,
se ha obtenido que las acciones de EMULIES son pertinentes y bien valoradas, aunque perfectibles porque no han logrado cumplir cabalmente con sus objetivos
propuestos; y la sostenibilidad depende de factores internos y externos, entre los
que se pueden identificar la institucionalización de EMULIES y la identificación de
recursos para su autofinanciamiento.
The Space of Women Leaders of Higher Education Institutions of the Americas (EMULIES) was created as an initiative in 2011 as part of the Interamerican Organization for Higher Education (IOHE). It started its activities with a group of women leaders who had identified the inequities and discriminations that they have suffered to access to authority positions in universities. The decision making positions were presented (and they are still like that) as spaces of masculine domination where women must face in solitude the constant questioning for the simple fact of being women. To cope with theses vicissitudes, EMULIES was constituted as a space that gathered together rectors, vice-rectors, deans, heads of different areas, among others, to reflect about the situations that they have lived and to generate strategies of support and impulse for women who occupied or who were looking forward occupying a leadership position. Since its creation, EMULIES has developed three main products: the regional Meetings of women leaders in higher education; an Observatory to analyze the situation of equality in universities, especially related to authority positions, and a Diploma on gender issues and leadership in higher education. These three activities have been evaluated in this research in order to analyze the management of EMULIES (between 2011 and 2016), based on its pertinence, effectiveness and sustainability in order to generate improvements in the program. For this purpose, a qualitative research was carried out with in-depth interviews with EMULIES users in order to know their needs, expectations and assessment of the program’s operation. As a result, it has been obtained that the actions of EMULIES are relevant and well valued, although perfectible because they have not managed to fully comply with their proposed objectives; and sustainability depends on internal and external factors, among which the institutionalization of EMULIES and the identification of resources for self-financing can be identified.
