Inhalt: "Literature on gender, higher education administration, and leadership is reviewed using the framework of five principles derived from feminist psychology (Worell & Johnson, 1997): (a) sociocultural context influences leadership situations, (b) power dynamics impact sociocultural structures, (c) people are active agents of coping and environmental change, (d) multiple perspectives are useful, and (e) collaboration is an important technique for changing organizations. Within this framework are discussions of the effects of historical context, gender discrimination and stereotyping, hierarchical organization, masculinized context, the interconnection between gender and status, and leadership as empowerment. Examples of administrative strategies that may promote feminist leadership behavior by college administrators are given, such as understanding behavior in context, promoting structural change, using active survival strategies, changing behavioral incentives, striving for activism and social justice, fostering interdisciplinary perspectives, and encouraging collaboration. Difficulties encountered by women attempting to change the higher education context and assume feminist leadership styles are discussed." (author's abstract)

Still inside, still "out" : a decade of reflection on exposure, risk and survival

Inhalt: "This article addresses the experience of exposure and the steps taken to ameliorate the dangers, explored through my personal observations in relation to my experiences working within British higher education for the past two decades. In particular I examine the interrelationships between my matrix of identity, my experiences and the structure and practices of higher education. The elements of this matrix include my class status, my parenting status, my gender and my sexuality, in particular the latter two. I discuss personal and, therefore, individual, actions yet these have not been developed and taken in isolation. The aim is to show how collective challenges can reduce structural discrimination at an individual level and aid the diminution of such structural oppressions. The methodological approach is one of auto/ biography informed by some lessons of political science." (author's abstract)

The contradiction of the myth of individual merit, and the reality of a patriarchal
support system in academic careers : a feminist investigation
Autor/in:
Bagilhole, Barbara; Goode, Jackie
Quelle: The European journal of women's studies, Vol. 8 (2001) No. 2, S. 161-180
Inhalt: "This article draws on data from a qualitative research study undertaken in an old
(pre-1992) UK university with the main aim of investigating the issue of the gender
dimension of academic careers. It examines the idea of an individualistic academic
career that demands self-promotion, which is still used as a measure of achievement
by those in senior positions. However, there is a basic contradiction. While this
idea is upheld, men simultaneously gain by an in-built patriarchal support system.
They do not have to make a conscious effort to be helped by it, thereby perpetuating
the cultural hegemony of individualism. Women are not admitted to this support system,
and if they are seen as needing or wanting to set up their own system, this is viewed
as a weakness. The answer appears to be for women to strategically harness feminist
ways of working in a collaborative and supportive way." (author's abstract)|

Inhalt: "Seit die Gleichberechtigung der Geschlechter 1949 in Deutschland als Grundrecht festgeschrieben wurde, hat sich die rechtliche Stellung der Frau entscheidend verbessert. War eine Frau 1949 keine eigenständige Geschäftsperson, sondern in sämtlichen öffentlichen und familiären Fragen von ihrem Ehemann abhängig, stehen Frauen und Männern im Jahr 2000 dieselben Rechte und Pflichten zu. Trotzdem hat sich der Gleichberechtigungsgedanke in der Realität bis heute nicht erfüllt. Die Ursachen der ökonomischen, sozialen und kulturellen Benachteiligungen, denen Frauen ausgesetzt sind, liegen zu einem wesentlichen Teil bei gesetzlichen Regelungen, die Frauen und Männern, spätestens zu dem Zeitpunkt, wenn sie Eltern werden, nahe legen, traditionelle Rollenmuster zu leben."
