This book examines persistent gender inequality in higher
education, and asks what is preventing change from occurring. The
editors and contributors argue that organizational resistance to
gender equality is the key explanation; reflected in the
endorsement of discourses such as excellence, choice, distorted
intersectionality, revitalized biological essentialism and gender
neutrality. These discourses implicitly and explicitly depict the
status quo as appropriate, reasonable and fair: ultimately impeding
efforts and attempts to promote gender equality. Drawing on
research from around the world, this book explores the limits and
possibilities of challenging these harmful discourses, focusing on
the state and universities themselves as levers for change. It
stresses the importance of institutional transformation, the vital
contribution of feminist activists and the importance of women's
deceptively 'small victories' in the academy.
