Download or read book Women in Higher Education written by JoAnn DiGeorgio-Lutz and published by Praeger. This book was released on 2002-08-30 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: More women are receiving advanced degrees and ascending to the ranks of deans, provosts, and presidents, but despite gains in advancing gender equality, efforts at true empowerment are still met with significant resistance within academia. The contributors to this collection are committed to promoting the issue of gender and empowering women in higher education. The approach of this book is both theoretical and applied. On one level it evaluates pedagogy from the perspective of what we teach, how we teach, and curriculum development that enables and empowers women. On the other level it examines the institutional barriers that continue to exist that thwart the educational development of women while also examining the areas in which institutional support does promote efforts toward change. Women are the growing majority population, yet women in higher education are not provided an equal education. This book includes strategies for change, teaching suggestions, and curriculum development ideas.

Because when you lift up women, you lift up humanity.” For the last twenty years, Melinda Gates has been on a mission to find solutions for people with the most urgent needs, wherever they live.

And, for the first time, she writes about her personal life and the road to equality in her own marriage. Throughout, she shows how there has never been more opportunity to change the world—and ourselves. Writing with emotion, candor, and grace, she introduces us to remarkable women and shows the power of connecting with one another. When we lift others up, they lift us up, too.

Book excerpt: God's intention was humans would never be divided by race. Let's be clear: God wants Christians to unite; Satan wants Christians to divide. Racial disunity is alive and well among Christians, and unfortunately, the world is watching. In One Human Race, Dr. Jeff McGee lays out two parts: the first part of the book gives a biblical and historical account of race and the concept of race. The second part of the book introduces a practical and theoretical model that equips leaders to dismantle systemic racism through the love, empathy, and compassion of Jesus Christ. Dr. McGee's Cross-Cultural Model of Collaboration provides a theoretical method for Christian leaders to dismantle systemic racism within their church and organizations. The hope is that you will begin to utilize the model to show God's love and true desires for those who are racially different than us.
