Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Exploring efforts to integrate women into combat forces in the military, we investigate how resistance to equity becomes entrenched, ultimately excluding women from being full participants in the workplace. Based on focus groups and surveys with members of Special Operations, we found most of the resistance is rooted in traditional gender stereotypes that are often bolstered through organizational policies and practices. The subtlety of these practices often renders them invisible. We refer to this invisibility as organizational obliviousness. Obliviousness exists at the individual level, it becomes reinforced at the cultural level, and, in turn, cultural practices are entrenched institutionally by policies. Organizational obliviousness may not be malicious or done to actively exclude or harm, but the end result is that it does both. Throughout this Element we trace the ways that organizational obliviousness shapes individuals, culture, and institutional practices throughout the organization.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: * Of interest to all women in faculty ranks* Extensive academic marketingWhy are women not entering academic careers at a rate proportional to their degree attainment? And once they enter academe, why are they are not achieving tenure or gaining promotion at the same rate as men? How can deeper understanding of attitudes toward academic women combined with research on their experiences within the academic environment, in particular those balancing family and academic careers, help us to shape more responsive institutional policies and environments?These questions are all the more urgent at a time when institutions recognize the need to recruit more women and faculty of color to meet their changing missions and student demographics. This book argues that creating healthy and equitable work environments for women is good for the whole academic community. Indeed, the authors make the point that, as the feminization of academe continues, failure to implement gender equity and family-friendly initiatives could be perilous. This book brings together new and original research--representing a broad range of institutional types--that reveals the pressures women face to postpone childbirth and limit the size of their families; that exposes the often the inequitable treatment of their scholarship when women are part of a dual-career couples; and that identifies other tacit and structural barriers to women s advancement. This book challenges assumptions about how men and women manage the boundaries between their personal and professional lives and suggests new ways to creatively and collaboratively combine productive work lives and satisfying personal lives. It shows how women have agency in structuring their careers and describes a multiplicity of solutions that they and institutions can adopt to create new couple- and family-friendly structures and practices that will encourage women to stay in the pipeline.This book, and its companion volumes in the Women in Academe series, offers compelling data and ideas both for women scholars seeking fulfillment in their professional and personal lives, and for adminstrators who recognize the need to transform their work places."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lynne Welch has compiled 26 provocative essays representing the latest research findings on the topic of women in higher education. This volume addresses issues which are particularly current and timely, including equity issues, mentoring, career mobility, challenges specific to various disciplines, support systems, division of labor in two-career households, communication styles, women administrators, and the minority woman. This volume is directed to men and women in higher education who are interested in the changes and challenges facing women in this field.

The first, Women in Higher Education, includes essays on support systems, choices and aspirations, and compatibility with maternity. Women in Their Discipline is comprised of six essays on challenges specific to the fields of Theology, Dance, Engineering, Nursing, and Women's Studies. Women and Their Work discusses family division of labor, communication styles, commuter marriages, female support, and women managers. The fourth area, Women in Administration, covers team play, women administrator characteristics, benefits and costs, and women managers. Mentoring and Women in Higher Education includes five essays exploring such topics as the mentor/mentee relationship and the downside of mentoring. Equity Issues concludes this volume with discussions on non-tenured faculty, minority women, inequitable treatment, and taking the fast track.

Download or read book Women and Minority Faculty in the Academic Workplace written by Adalberto Aguirre, Jr. and published by Jossey-Bass. This book was released on 2000-09-20 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In an attempt to address the need for substantive comparisons in the minority university faculty population, this monograph examines the relative differences in minority groups in the faculty population when the data permit comparisons. The report also examines research on the status of women faculty members. The discussion assembles a large volume of empirical research organized under the main thesis that academia for women and minority faculty is often experienced as a chilling and alienating environment. Women and minority faculty are expected to perform institutional roles that allow higher education institutions to pursue diversity on campus, but these roles are ignored in the faculty reward system, especially in the awarding of tenure. The chapters are: (1) "The Status of Women and Minority Faculty: Changing or Unchanging?"; (2) "The Academic Workplace"; (3) "The Academic Workplace for Women and Minority Faculty"; (4) "Issues Facing Women and Minority Faculty"; and (5) "Summary Observations and Suggestions." (Contains 314 references.) (SLD).
