Higher Education, Leadership and Women Vice Chancellors - Fitting in to Communities of Practice of Masculinities

Zusatztext "Yes! we should make public the evidence that Burkinshaw cites (including excellent research by Louise Morley) that points to various powerful forms of discrimination against women." - Times Higher Education Informationen zum Autor Paula Burkinshaw is a Senior Research Fellow at Leeds University Centre for Interdisciplinary Leadership, UK who is fascinated by 'the missing women' in leadership and gendered leadership cultures. Klappentext Why are there so few women vice chancellors in UK higher education? In this book, Paula Burkinshaw explores the contemporary conversation around the 'missing women at the top' across UK society through in-depth interviews with the (hitherto) silent voices of women vice chancellors. These women have successfully negotiated with and navigated the gendered leadership cultures of higher education throughout their careers and speak of the masculine communities of their workplaces. Advocating the need to achieve a critical mass of women at the top, this book suggests there is still much to be done in the higher education sphere.
