Highlights the exacerbated gendered inequities for academic women caused by the pandemic, including gender pay gap, and women being channelled into administrative, teaching, and pastoral care roles not recognised with career advancement and remuneration compared to research routes facilitated for male colleagues. Uses a collaborative auto-ethnographic approach to reflect on the authors' experiences of emotional labour in supporting nursing students throughout the Covid-19 pandemic and the invisibility of the work within academia. Notes that the patriarchal construction of academia remains present and highly visible to the detriment of many female career trajectories. |
