With the addition of the Knowledge Exchange Framework (KEF) to Research Excellence Framework (REF) and Teaching Excellence Framework (TEF), the administrative burden on those in the academy continues to grow against a backdrop of a global pandemic, fast moving policy change and economic uncertainty. Furthermore, current research indicates that it is women in academia who carry the burden. 

Gendered Workloads will consider how current inequity in workloads is actively disadvantaging female academics and adding to their administrative workloads with men are spending more time on research. It will also create a space to explore solutions and practical strategies, informed by recent research, to support greater equity and fairness in the division of “housekeeping”, institutional and emotional labour.
