Gender inequality/inequity in the academy has been evidenced
globally as women outnumber men seeking degrees in institutions of
higher education, but remain concentrated in the lower faculty
ranks and absent from administrative positions, particularly in the
science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) disciplines
The chapters in this volume document the gender inequality in
higher education in the United States as well as in Australia,
Austria, Portugal, South Africa, and Sweden. They explore the
reasons for it and test or suggest remedies. Several are based on
projects funded by the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF),
which seeks to address the issue as it is evidenced in STEM
disciplines through ADVANCE, a program developed to increase the
participation and advancement of women in these disciplines. The
authors consider women's situation in the context of a variety of
types of educational settings including community colleges,
primarily undergraduate institutions, and research-intensive
universities.
