Though the percentage of Hispanics in universities continues to
grow, few Hispanic women/Latinas advance into leadership positions;
instead, many are constrained by a glass ceiling. Therefore, the
voices and experiences of those that have overcome these barriers
in higher education are pivotal stories to be told. Ranging from
the perceptions of these women's journeys to leadership, to an
understanding of the barriers they encounter, to the question of
their access to the resources they need, each factor is a critical
component to understanding Hispanic women/Latinas in the higher
education atmosphere. Comprehensive research in this area is needed
to explore the themes of identity in terms of racial/ethic
identification, social perception, and gender, along with systemic
themes on the institutional level regarding the recruitment,
retention, and promotion of a diverse higher education
administration. Hispanic Women/Latina Leaders Overcoming Barriers
in Higher Education explores the recruitment, promotion, retention
process, and the barriers and resilience needed for Hispanic
women/Latinas in higher education leadership roles. The chapters
use data collected via a qualitative, phenomenological research
study including open-ended interviews, field notes, biographical
questionnaires, and a researcher's reflective journal. While
covering topics surrounding these women's experiences such as
identity themes, self-identification, institutional shortcomings,
and valuable support systems, this book is ideally intended for
Latina educators, informing legislators, educational officials, and
higher education administrators along with practitioners,
researchers, academicians, and students interested in institutional
equality, female empowerment, and Hispanic women/Latinas' journey
in higher education.
