| Abstract: | With the passing of Title IX of the Education Amendments Act of 1972, federal law prohibited discrimination against women in higher education. Nevertheless, there remain significant barriers to the progression of women in higher education administration, leading to continued inequality in their representation in administrative roles (Klenke, 2018; Redmond et al., 2017). Only 30% of leadership roles in higher education administration are filled by women (Burgman, 2018). The percentage drops significantly when exploring women in high education administration at the top tiers of leadership, such as provosts or presidents (Clark & Johnson, 2017; Burkinshaw, 2015). This study explores the pathways of women in higher education administration through semi-structured interviews using an intersectional feminist lens. Allowing participants to critically reflect, three categories of observations emerge: destiny and fit, complexities of social practices, and advocates/allies. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
