Abstract:
|
Despite interventions by leaders in higher education, women are still under-represented in academic leadership positions. This dearth of women leaders is no longer a pipeline issue, raising questions as to the root causes for the persistence of this pattern. We have identified four themes as the root causes for the under-representation of women in leadership positions from focus group interviews of senior women faculty leaders at Johns Hopkins. These causes are found in routine practices surrounding leadership selection as well as in cultural assumptions about leadership potential and effectiveness. As part of this roundtable, I will discuss these findings and I will facilitate an informal discussion on how to balance work and life.
