The Positioning and Making of Female Professors : Pushing Career Advancement Open Hardback
Edited by Rowena Murray, Denise Mifsud
Part of the Palgrave Studies in Gender and Education series
Hardback
Description
This book explores the experiences and perspectives of female professors.
Analysing the gendering of this process using various theoretical perspectives, this edited collection examines the active ‘making’ of careers, and how this has been possible.
The editors and contributors cut across institutions, cultures and continents to seek to understand how women navigate the gendered process of becoming a professor, with each chapter applying a different theoretical or methodological approach to her experience.
The chapters are not mere descriptions of career trajectories, but analytic narratives anchored within distinct theoretical and philosophical frameworks.
In turn, they shed important light on how – and if – institutional structures and systems are adapting to move towards gender equality.
Offering practical advice as well as thoughtful reflection, this book will be of especial interest to early career female academics.
