Beschreibung:
Women earn nearly half of all new PhDs in Canada, the United States, Australia, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom. Why, then, do theyoccupy a disproportionate number of the junior-level universitypositions while men occupy 80 percent of the more prestigious jobs? InAcademic Careers and the Gender Gap, Maureen Baker draws oncandid interviews with male and female scholars, previous research, andher own thirty-eight-year academic career to explain the reasons behindthis inequality. She argues that current university priorities andcollegial relations often magnify the impact of gendered families andidentities and perpetuate the gender gap. Tracing the evolution ofuniversity priorities and practices, Baker reveals significant andpersistent differences in job security, working hours, rank, salary, job satisfaction, and career length between male and femalescholars.
