Opis

Exploring how the re-organisation of higher education has redefined academic, management, and professional roles, this book considers the different impacts of this structural change for men and women. In spite of a range of institutional equity strategies in which women learnt the ‘rules of the game’, this book shows that structural and cultural barriers – ‘glass ceilings’ – have not disappeared as might be expected. Each chapter provides an insight into how historical legacies, cultural contexts, geographic locations, and national policies are mediated through practice by localized gender regimes and orders. This book was originally published as a special issue of Gender and Education.
