Challenges of the Faculty Career for Women
Based on interviews with female faculty members at various
stages in their careers, this compelling resource examines how
women faculty members juggle the extraordinary demands of their
personal lives with the pressures of their academic careers.
Challenges of the Faculty Career for Women explores and offers
recommendations about such commonplace issues as choosing between
and balancing work and family, defining identity and priorities,
facing elder-care issues, and working in a historically
male-dominated environment.
Praise for Challenges of the Faculty Career for Women
"Poignant, powerful, passionate, painful. While I often wonder
why women endure academic careers, Philipsen's book helps me
understand how they persist and succeed, and at what cost. A loud
and clear call for change."
--Cathy A. Trower, co-principal investigator, Collaborative On
Academic Careers in Higher Education, Harvard University
"Rich with the stories of academic women in diverse life
situations and career stages, the book offers examples of the
choices and strategies that help faculty effectively handle both
their personal and professional roles."
--Ann E. Austin, Mildred B. Erickson Distinguished Professor of
Higher, Adult, and Lifelong Education, Michigan State
University
"A revealing book, full of arresting stories about attempts by
individual women faculty members--as well as about institutional
policies that do (and do not) support women and men--to achieve
balance in their work and personal lives. I recommend it to anyone
who seeks to balance their responsibilities."
--Jerry Gaff, senior scholar, the Association of American
Collegesand Universities
"The burden of the dramatic changes taking place in academic
careers today is falling most heavily on the growing number of
women faculty. Maike Philipsen's book explores--in a convincing and
practical way--what this means for individual lives and our
institutions."
--R. Eugene Rice, senior scholar, Association of American Colleges
and Universities
