Expert-led, interdisciplinary, and international in scope, this
insightful book aims to increase the representation and leadership
potential of women working in academia, examining the intersection
of multiple inequalities with a specific focus on gender, age,
ethnicity, and disability. A carefully crafted response to
educational inequalities, the volume posits an invitation for
dialogue around what it means to have success in higher education.
This book expands the reader's understanding of leadership in
academia and the challenges specific to individual career pathways,
offering a plethora of practical tried-and-tested strategies that
individuals and institutions can adopt to create a more equal and
socially just academic climate. Designed to encourage reflection on
potential strategies and how they could be implemented, the ten
co-authored chapters include first-person narratives, case studies
inspired by interviews with academics, and links and
recommendations for further reading. The personal accounts of the
authors are enriched with those of other academics who have faced
challenges in career progression. Each chapter is structured as a
conversation between the authors in relation to an inequality
issue, with a summary of scholarly literature and studies on the
topic, followed by strategies successfully applied in practice.
Strategies presented are firmly rooted in the everyday reality of
working as a researcher, higher education lecturer, or academic
administrator. This book is ideal reading for any minority working
in higher education interested in promotion processes, equality and
diversity in the workplace, and mentoring. It will also be of
interest to providers of academic leadership courses,
organisations, and institutions promoting gender equality in higher
education, supporting women's careers, and improving the
representation, progression, and success of Black, Asian, and
Minority Ethnic (BAME) staff and students within higher education.
