“I Study When All My Family is Asleep”. Gender, Time and Space in Online Education in the COVID-19 Pandemic,

Abstract The COVID-19 pandemic has radically altered the ways of working, studying, and interacting globally, forcing people and communities to reinterpret their daily activities. This study analyzes the changes experienced by working mothers who began distance studies at an Argentine university during the second year of the pandemic. Results indicated how spaces and time were transformed, and gender inequalities deepened. The pandemic, above all, impacted the positions and negotiations that working mothers managed to establish to continue studying in a virtual university environment. In these cases, conquering time and space for learning is, at the same time, an act of acceptance and innovation as a woman.

摘要 新型冠状病毒肺炎（COVID-19）疫情彻底重塑了全球范围内的工作、学习与社交范式，迫使个体与社群重新审视日常活动模式。本研究针对疫情暴发第二年期间，阿根廷某高校中开启远程学习的在职母亲所经历的各类变化展开分析。研究结果显示，空间与时间分配发生显著转变的同时，性别不平等问题亦进一步加剧。尤为核心的是，疫情对在职母亲为维持虚拟高校学习进程而构建的身份定位与协商策略造成了冲击。在此类场景中，为学习争取时间与空间的行为，同时也是女性群体在身份认同层面兼具接纳与创新的实践。
