Work Lives

Susan Braken, Jeannie Allen, Diane

Dean

Why 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

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,

equity and family-friendly initiatives could be perilous.
