Williams, Joan C.; Alon, Tamina; Bornstein, Stephanie – Thought & Action, 2006
It's no secret that academe is a challenging place to work, but those challenges are exacerbated when the academic also has family responsibilities.

Music education occupations in the U.S. have been segregated by gender and race for decades.

Chapman, Valerie-Lee – International Journal of Qualitative Studies in Education, 2005
How do we communicate our work to our students and our friends who don't speak in the same academic tongues as we do? Using critical personal narrative, and a nice homely metaphor, rather than poststructuralese, I explain what happens to a body in education, and how power works to produce it, say, as white, imperial, middle class and heterosexual.…

Schwartz, Martin D. – Journal of Interpersonal Violence, 2005
The most important thing we have learned about violence against women over the past 20 years is that violence is gendered and learned and can only be understood in the context of gender inequality. Most violence is male, and although some violence is done by females, it is far from equal and often done for very different reasons. Among other major…

Alexander, Kristina; Grispino, Frank D.; Messner, Phillip E. – Journal of Women in Educational Leadership, 2004
Although women have access to the superintendency power position, evidence has shown that women have not been able to consistently break the glass ceiling. A review of related literature failed to identify specific and practical employment factors that must be resolved or overcome if women are to reach power parity in Missouri. This study was…

Maxwell, Lesli A. – Education Week, 2007
This article reports on how the Baltimore District tackles its high suspension rates.

Media programs like hip-hop music videos are powerful aesthetic agents that inspire teenagers.

Callahan, Jamie L.; Tomaszewski, Lesley – Studies in Continuing Education, 2007
When women work in male-dominated organizations, do they form collaborative networks with other women or do they take on the practices of the male-dominated community they are a part of? In this paper, we explore how female staff and volunteer members participate within a male-dominated non-profit organization. We use communities of practice as a…
