The representation of women in faculty roles within universities broadly and within public affairs departments specifically has been evolving over the past three decades. However, diversifying gender representation in public affairs faculties is not sufficient. Barriers for success remain for women in public affairs departments. Bias exists in…

Mkhize, Zamambo – Higher Education: The International Journal of Higher Education Research, 2023
Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) fields have historically been disciplines dominated by white men. The colonial ideology designated Africans as subhuman, inferior intellectually, socially, and culturally to the white masculine norm in STEM disciplines. STEM education and careers were thus constructed to attract white,…

Men significantly outnumber women in physics, engineering, and computer science (PECS) majors, with a recent male-to-female ratio of approximately 4:1, a stark contrast to the near parity in other science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) disciplines (1). This gender disparity in PECS carries wide-reaching implications for equity,…

Claire Kopp – ProQuest LLC, 2024
As recent attacks on the rights of women and gender minorities exemplify, sexism and gender privilege are structural forces ingrained in the fabric of U.S. society. Unfortunately, higher education is not immune to such structural forces and can reinforce the power associated with gender privilege. This phenomenological research study, in concert…

Vázquez-Cupeiro, Susana – Critical Studies in Education, 2022
The relevance of networking in academia and the gendered dynamics involved are well established in the literature. The persistence of the old-boy network pushes academic women to rationalize whether or not to 'play the game' and under what terms. Inspired by Feminist Institutionalism, this article explores the schemas of interpretation which…

Increasing diversity in international student mobility/migration has gained attention in recent years (Bilecen & Van Mol, 2017).

Acai, Anita; Mercer-Mapstone, Lucy; Guitman, Rachel – Teaching in Higher Education, 2022
Gender inequity remains a critical issue in higher education. We explored the proposition that engaging students as partners (SaP), an increasingly adopted approach to student engagement, may present one approach to improving gender equity by fostering agency and leadership for women. First, we analyzed the gender distribution of authors of SaP…

Bachore, Mebratu; Semela, Tesfaye – Cogent Education, 2022
The presence of gender bias in school textbooks is a global educational challenge often associated with the hidden curricula. However, while the problem has been almost entirely attributed to general education systems little empirical data exists when it comes to higher education. The purpose of this study is, therefore, to shed light on the…

Cacicio, Sarah; Tinsley, Brian; Miller, Antionette; Luke Luna, Christina – Digital Promise, 2022
Learning and Employment Records (LERs) require careful, deliberate design to ensure that workers benefit from their adoption and use. If designed without the inclusion of individuals who are most marginalized in the workforce, LERs could reproduce existing inequities in the talent pipeline. Digital Promise collaborated with workers in frontline…

Tamtik, Merli – Canadian Journal of Higher Education, 2021
Diversity and equity have become central themes of institutional planning in Canadian post-secondary institutions.

This article argues that published research…
