This volume provides a critical examination of the status of women
and gender in higher education today. Despite the increasing
numbers of women in higher education, gendered structures continue
to hinder women's advancement in academia. This book goes beyond
the numbers to examine the issues facing those members of academia
with non-dominant gender identities. The authors analyze higher
education structures from a range of perspectives and offer
recommendations at individual and institutional levels to encourage
activism and advance equality in academia.
