Beyond the Class Ceiling: The Untold Choices of Women Opting Out of Leadership in Higher Education
Abstract
Despite a growing number of skilled female faculty members, men continue to hold leadership positions in higher education. Through a feminist and social constructivist analysis of structural and cultural limitations, this chapter explores the reasons why many capable women deliberately avoid formal leadership positions. Two significant issues are gendered prejudices and the “greedy workplace” mentality. Showcasing female leaders who lead informally through collaboration and mentorship through story analysis advances inclusive frameworks that facilitate different leadership and gender parity in academia.
