Abstract
Esta investigación diagnostica la incorporación del enfoque de género en proyectos liderados por el cuerpo académico del Departamento de Agroindustrias de la Facultad de Ingeniería Agrícola, Universidad de Concepción, entre 2015 y 2024. Se identificó la necesidad de contar con información sistematizada sobre la integración de la perspectiva de género en el ámbito académico local, considerando tres niveles de análisis: personas beneficiarias, personal contratado y cuerpo académico que propone los proyectos. Este enfoque busca superar la visión tradicional que asocia el impacto de género únicamente con beneficiarias externas, incorporando también brechas en la participación femenina en carreras STEM.
El estudio se enmarca en los compromisos internacionales asumidos por Chile con la Agenda 2030 y en el contexto institucional de la Universidad de Concepción, que ha impulsado iniciativas como la Dirección de Equidad de Género y Diversidad Sexual (DEGyD), el proyecto InES de Género y la obtención del Sello Igualdad, certificación que promueve la integración transversal del enfoque de género y formaliza mecanismos para generar datos desagregados. Se aplicó una metodología mixta que combinó revisión documental, encuestas y entrevistas semiestructuradas, analizando 27 proyectos. Los resultados evidenciaron baja visibilidad del ODS 5, ausencia de indicadores sensibles al género y concentración de liderazgo femenino en proyectos con menor financiamiento. Asimismo, se constató el “efecto embudo”, caracterizado por la sub-representación femenina en los niveles superiores del cuerpo académico, en línea con lo reportado por la UNESCO para América Latina y el Caribe.
A partir de estos hallazgos, se propone un kit metodológico para transversalizar la perspectiva de género en futuras iniciativas académicas, fortaleciendo la capacidad del Departamento para generar proyectos más equitativos, medibles y alineados con estándares internacionales.
This research diagnoses the incorporation of the gender perspective in projects led by the academic staff of the Department of Agroindustries, Faculty of Agricultural Engineering, University of Concepción, between 2015 and 2024. It identifies the need for systematic information on how gender is integrated into the local academic sphere, considering three levels of analysis: project beneficiaries, hired personnel, and the academic staff who propose the projects. This approach seeks to overcome the traditional view that links gender impact solely to external female beneficiaries, also addressing gaps in women’s participation in STEM careers. The study is framed within Chile’s international commitments under the 2030 Agenda and the institutional context of the University of Concepción, which has implemented initiatives such as the Directorate for Gender Equity and Sexual Diversity (DEGyD), the InES Gender Project, and the attainment of the Equality Seal—certification that promotes the transversal integration of gender and formalizes mechanisms for generating disaggregated data. A mixed-methods approach was applied, combining documentary review, surveys, and semi-structured interviews, analyzing 27 projects. The results revealed low visibility of SDG 5, absence of gender-sensitive indicators, and a concentration of female leadership in lower-funded projects. The study also confirmed the “leaky pipeline” phenomenon, characterized by the underrepresentation of women in higher academic positions, consistent with UNESCO reports for Latin America and the Caribbean. Based on these findings, a methodological toolkit is proposed to mainstream the gender perspective in future academic initiatives, strengthening the Department’s capacity to develop more equitable, measurable projects aligned with international standards.
