Gender Equality in Academia Schulleiterinnen in Europe? What are
the career options for women in various Europ ean countries? What
has changed? Does the glass ceiling still exist? The contributors
give answers from different countries and in a comparative perspec
- tive. The contributions of this volume take a closer look at
career achievements, perspectives and trajectories primarily at
European universities, putting straightforwardly into question the
widely held opinion that women are strategically excluded from
gaining access to top positions in academia. There is no simple
evil or male-dominated mechanism for hindering the advancement of
women in academia. However, there are many pitfalls and
difficulties that still stand in the way of female academics and
render their lives and professional advancement in academia more
difficult compared to their male colleagues. The articles aim at
investigating the interrelationship bet ween strategy and
structure, thus focusing on the interconnectedness between the
institutional environment of the systems of higher education and
the strategic behavior, the aspirations, hopes and desires of
female academics in particular who either were looking back upon
their career path, had just started to think about a career in
academia, or were on their way to applying for a leading position
at a university. The book is published as a joint venture by
Barbara Budrich and Scholar, Poland.
