Women and Leadership in Higher Education During Global Crises
Women leaders and the COVID-19 pandemic are currently trending in the news. Major news outlets are all offering their positive opinions on how world-wide women leaders have addressed the crisis and reassured their people. While this sort of press coverage is certainly uplifting, little to no research has been conducted to investigate the effectiveness of women’s leadership decisions and strategies in these difficult times.

Many colleges and universities have all but shuttered their doors and are conducting instruction, student support, and day-to-day business almost completely o...
Women in Higher Education and the Journey to Mid-Career: Challenges and Opportunities
Individuals in mid-career positions in higher education typically feel that they are faced with fewer engagement endeavors and new initiatives with which they can participate in as institutions tend to find them not as new and their ideas no longer as cutting edge, even though they very well may be.

Post-tenure they may find themselves in a space where they have more control over their work and can engage at a more comfortable pace. However, without institutional support and personal determination to remain engaged, ...

Challenges and Opportunities for Women in Higher Education Leadership
Gender studies in the professional realm has long been a heavily researched field, with many feminist texts studying topics including the wage gap and family life. However, female administration in higher education remains largely understudied, particularly on the influence of personal, professional, and societal factors on women. There is a need for studies that seek to understand how gender intersects with the multiple dimensions of women leaders’ personhoods, such as family status, marital status, age, race, ethnicity, and sexual orientation, to inform women’s career path experiences and leadership aspirations. Challenges and Opportunities for Women in Higher Education Leadership is a...
MotherScholars' Perceptions, Experiences, and the Impact on Work-Family Balance
MotherScholars (mothers who work as faculty and staff members within higher education) juggle a multitude of roles—leader, researcher, wife, partner, mother, caregiver, advisor, teacher, mentor, volunteer.
