Description

For the past 40 years, women in the acadmey have been working to achieve equality with their male colleagues in the areas of hiring, salary, promotion, tenure, and alloted resources. Yet research indicates that in many ways, academia has been resistant to change. This text provides evidence of on-going discrimination in the work lives of women graduate students and faculty. The chapters in this book draw on theory, research and personal narrative to illustrate, theorize and explore the chilly climate that academic women face, as well as to offer alternatives for creating a more inclusive, fair and just academy for everyone.
