About the Book

Gender inequality/inequity in the academy has been evidenced globally as women outnumber men seeking degrees in institutions of higher education, but remain concentrated in the lower faculty ranks and absent from administrative positions, particularly in the science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) disciplines The chapters in this volume document the gender inequality in higher education in the United States as well as in Australia, Austria, Portugal, South Africa, and Sweden. They explore the reasons for it and test or suggest remedies. Several are based on projects funded by the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF), which seeks to address the issue as it is evidenced in STEM disciplines through ADVANCE, a program developed to increase the participation and advancement of women in these disciplines. The authors consider women's situation in the context of a variety of types of educational settings including community colleges, primarily undergraduate institutions, and research-intensive universities.

Review :
Gender Transformation in the Academy enriches our understandings of the ways that gender shapes higher education and inequalities as well as opportunities, especially in scientific fields. The chapters identify ways and means for realizing gender equality in the academy through practices and policies that resolve work-family conflicts and patterns of bias, and that promote access to peer networks, awards, and positions of leadership. The chapters are distinguished further by the scope of qualitative and quantitative methods used to collect and analyze data, and by attention to a range of types of academic institutions - larger and smaller, more and less research-orientated - in the United States and throughout the world. - Mary Frank Fox, Center for the Study of Women, Science and Technology, Georgia Institute of Technology.
