This paper explores the academic experiences of women academicians in India during the COVID-19 pandemic. Data was collected through online questionnaires from 87 women faculty members teaching in colleges and universities. Findings indicate that increased household work of women due to the pandemic and resulting lockdown has amplified their effort in executing their teaching and examination related duties, but they have ensured that their remote teaching performance has largely remained unaffected. However, the pandemic seems to have had adverse effects on research of women faculty that is likely to impinge on their future prospects of career advancement. Managing the increased demands of teaching and household work and maintaining work-life balance has been stressful for them.
本文探讨了印度女院士在新冠疫情期间的学术经历。通过在线问卷收集了87位在学院和大学任教的女性教员的数据。研究结果表明，疫情导致的封锁增加了女性的家务劳动，这加大了她们履行教学和考试相关职责的难度，但她们确保了远程教学表现基本未受影响。然而，疫情似乎对女性教员的研究产生了不利影响，这可能会影响她们未来的职业发展前景。对她们来说，应对教学和家务劳动需求的增加以及维持工作与生活的平衡压力很大。
