Where the Tech Troubles Are
Inside Higher Ed
November 1, 2022
Students value connectivity, convenience and being consulted about technology but have little concern about protecting institutional networks. Student interest will continue to grow when it comes to virtual courses and remote learning options for live courses, the desire for creating richer academic and on-campus experiences, and new technology options. Yet, on many campuses, technology dollars are limited, with a wide variety of initiatives competing for that funding. Read more…
A Convo About Gender Bias to Recognize the Supreme Court’s New Term
Debbie Laskey’s Blog
October 3, 2022
The addition of Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson is momentous and historic as she will be the first Black woman to serve on the Court. With her broad and diverse background, she brings a new perspective to the Court, which will be exciting to learn from her thinking and watch her influence the creation of fairer and more just American society. I am also excited about the new ways in which she will serve as a role model and inspiration, especially to Black girls. Read more…
Gender Assumptions & Role Incredulity : Dr. Amy Diehl and Dr. Leanne Dzubinski
Workplace Perspective, Raising The Bar At Workplaces Everywhere!
April 12, 2022
Amy and Leanne recently published an article in the Harvard Business Review, “When People Assume You’re Not In Charge Because You’re a Woman.” They discussed role incredulity, a new term which means a form of gender bias where women are mistakenly assumed to be in a support or stereotypically female role — secretary, administrative assistant, court reporter, nurse, wife, girlfriend — rather than a leadership or stereotypically male role, such as CEO, professor, lawyer, doctor, or engineer. In these instances, women must expend extra energy and time to assert and sometimes prove their role. Teresa, Amy, and Leanne discuss examples of this in the workplace and what employers and employees can do to eliminate this type of gender bias. Read more…

Women Leading the Way Share Their Thoughts on Channeling Confidence

I learned my strongest life lesson on confidence during my dissertation research on adversity in which I interviewed 26 women executives in higher education. These women were all highly successful, serving in vice president and president positions. But some who had risen to the highest level (president) also seemed to be most insecure–perhaps due to their highly visible, challenging roles or due to life experiences or both. Read more…

Also, less than 20 percent of lecturers, professors, and chairpersons in college settings are represented by women of color. Read more…

Ever heard of “daddy privilege?” Well, the phrase may be new to you, but if you’re a mother you’ve probably experienced it — and maybe even participated in it. The term has been around for years, but it’s getting closer to becoming part of our popular lexicon thanks to a recent viral video in which a mom went on a rant about “daddy privilege” and how society minimizes and outright ignores the tireless efforts of moms everywhere.

“I’m fed up of people not introducing me by my titles in public forums. I am a Dr (medic & PhD). I’m an Associate Professor. I worked hard to gain these titles & I don’t give permission to omit them. Just because I’m an ethnic minority woman doesn’t mean that I’m just ‘Nisreen’!” tweeted Nisreen Alwan, a public health professor at the University of Southampton in the UK, last year. Read more…

Journalist Margaret Fuller once said, “If you have knowledge, let others light their candles in it.” Even before COVID-19 shut down campuses around the nation and the world, higher education was at a crossroads. Today, however, charting a new direction is more critical than ever. In a year without precedent — one that’s seen traditional instruction upended by a pandemic — there’s never been a greater need for expert thought leaders who can provide the guidance and expertise that higher education professionals need to navigate such a massive sea change.

Alumnae Study Targets Gender Bias at Work
Indiana University of Pennsylvania
September 4, 2020
A woman is a new employee at a company. She discovers that her boss—also a woman—didn’t tell her about a meeting that happened the previous week. The new employee is reprimanded for her absence and has no chance to explain herself. Later that month, she goes to the same boss for mentoring but instead receives dismissive responses and criticism. However, the boss is friendly and helpful toward the woman’s male peer. This scenario may be an example of queen bee syndrome—when a female superior feels insecure in a workplace environment, possibly because of an existing sexist culture, and attempts to protect herself by preventing other women from advancing.

New tool to measure gender bias in the workplace may help finally eliminate it
The Conversation
May 19, 2020
A new way to measure the causes and magnitude of gender bias against women leaders in the workplace should make it easier to identify the sources of this kind of sexism and even help eliminate it, according to just-published research I co-authored with Amy Diehl, Leanne Dzubinski and David Wang. We surveyed more than 1,600 women in four industries – higher education, faith-based community organizations, health care and the legal profession – to better understand how women experience 15 common gender barriers, such as working in a male-dominated culture, the glass cliff and queen bee syndrome.

Why higher ed needs to hire and promote more women faculty
University Business
February 19, 2020
An inadequate percentage of female professors fill tenure-track positions—especially among higher ranks, according to a recent survey by CUPA-HR, the association for higher ed HR professionals. The report that uncovered this example of gender bias in higher education examines the implications of aging demographics in tenure-track faculty on succession and diversity. Most notably, authors found that only 45% of tenure-track faculty are women professors aged 55 or younger and even less (35%) are older women. Read more…

For the past few decades, experts, scholars and managers have talked about the importance of mentors in helping men and women advance in their workplace settings. In 2013, Sheryl Sandberg’s book Lean In: Women, Work, and the Will to Lead was published with a fascinating chapter titled, “Are you my mentor?” (This is a play on the children’s book titled Are You My Mother? by P.D. Eastman, according to CBS News.) She compared a little bird’s relentless search for its mother to women’s persistent search for a mentor — continuously and almost desperately asking people to mentor them. Read more…
