SANTANA QUISPE, Lady. Between glass ceilings and research niches: The current situation of women in Peruvian archaeology. Desde el Sur [online]. 2019, vol.11, n.2, pp.261-281. ISSN 2076-2674.  http://dx.doi.org/10.21142/DES-1102-2019-261-281.

The aim of this article is to evaluate and characterize the current status of women within the Peruvian archaeological community and thus confirm the existence of the so-called glass ceiling and the creation of academic niches. Our methodology incorporates a quantitative and comparative analysis of the numbers of candidates, students and graduates within the field of archaeology during 2014. In addition, we examined the teaching staff records for individual institutions, and finally we reviewed the six annual events of the National Congress of Archaeology. Our results indicate that the current status of women in archaeology continues to be defined by inequality and underrepresentation, while confirming the existence of a so-called glass ceiling and the formation of academic niches.
