• Resumen

  • The article analyzes the opportunities and obstacles of academic women in the Universities ofEcuador and particularly in the Central University, for which a diachronic analysis is carried out that recovers the historical obstacles that women evidenced from the colony to the republic. Subsequently, the changesarising from the incorporation of teachers into the academy are analyzed, as well as their opinions in relationto the opportunities and obstacles of university teaching. Based on the expressions of the teachers, the underlying epistemological positions are identified from their voices. The methodology adopted a qualitativemethod, having gender as a category of analysis and narrative as an explanatory instrument of the perceptionsof the academics, which were categorized with the help of the AQUAD program. It is concluded that thereare significant changes in the gender opportunities of the academics, however, these are difficult articulated toethnic factors and the persistence of an androcentric culture. It is also established that the visibility of genderopportunities and obstacles are mediated by the epistemological positions of academics, which are anchoredin liberal, culturalist-essentialist discourses and to a lesser extent in feminist discourses; These heterogeneousconceptions are the result of their social practices and reveal the complexity of tracing paths or articulationsbetween women to contribute to gender equality
