Motherscholar and MotherLeader: No Thanks, for Now
Abstract
The author recently had the opportunity to apply for an administrative promotion. Despite thinking the author had long wanted this position, the author decided not to apply. Unfortunately, the author's experience mirrored a very typical pattern in colleges and universities. Academia has a long history of academic women being kept from or deciding not to ascend the ranks of leadership. In this chapter, the author explores why the author made the surprising decision not to apply for a promotion, as well as the reasons why other MotherLeaders choose to pause or stop on the upward journey in administration in higher education.
