Book excerpt: Women struggle to obtain leadership positions based on gender, and coupled with skin color; the barriers change significantly. This mixed-methods research study identifies the perceived obstacles encountered by women and the role gender and race play when seeking leadership positions. Historically African American women are viewed as nurturing, caring, and motherly individuals who care for the home. When in the role of a leader, they are not taken seriously because of gender first, and if leadership style is firm, they are deemed angry women who cannot control their feelings. The findings revealed a significant relationship between race and ethnicity as an obstacle for African American women attempting to attain leadership positions within higher education.

Data were collected through open-ended, phenomenological-oriented interviews with 12 African American women holding senior level positions in both academic and student affairs in the north and southeast parts of the United States. This study focused on the perceived institutional barriers that have contributed to the under-representation of African American women in higher education senior administration and strategies that were used to overcome perceived barriers. Critical Race Theory was used as a lens to explore the perceived barriers and experiences of African American women in academe. The qualitative data from this study yielded the concepts of leadership preparation, perception of race and gender, institutional challenges, and personal strategies for success. Ultimately, this study will further discussions regarding how higher education institutions can be more proactive in preparing and promoting qualified African American women in senior administrative positions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Truth Without Tears is a timely and insightful portrait of Black women leaders in American colleges and universities. Carolyn R. Hodges and Olga M. Welch are former deans who draw extensively on their experience as African American women to account for both the challenges and opportunities facing women of color in educational leadership positions. Hodges and Welch deftly combine autobiography with more general information and observations to fashion an interesting and helpful book about higher education leadership. They offer their perspectives on being the first deans of color in two predominately white institutions in an effort to fill a gap that exists in the literature on deanships in higher education. Each chapter offers reflections or examples of the authors’ particular experiences that have taught them how to become effective leaders. The book engages readers to consider ways of learning how to balance the need for action with “deliberative and deliberate approaches” that are grounded in maintaining decisiveness, accountability, and allegiance to organizational goals, especially those that support inclusiveness and diversity of perspective. A nuanced and complex depiction of successful leadership, Truth Without Tears is a valuable resource for current and aspiring higher education leaders.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although much has been written about leaders and leadership, we unfortunately know little about women, particularly minority women, who fill this particular role. This book presents the stories, and the reflections on their paths to leadership in higher education, of seven African American women. Each has been the first woman, first African American, or first African American woman in one or more of the positions of authority that she has held. Each has overcome the double bind of sexism and racism that can inhibit the professional attainment of African American women. Although they followed different paths to leadership, similarities in their experiences, values, and beliefs emerge. They also express a need to give back to those communities that nourished their growth and leadership – of which this book is a manifestation. At a time when significant turnover in college leadership is about to occur – presenting increased opportunities for women and minorities – these leaders hope that the strategies they describe, the insights they impart, the experiences they recount, and, most of all, the passion they have sustained for the betterment of and greater inclusiveness in higher education, will inspire the next generation of women to answer the leadership call.
Book Synopsis African American Leadership and Mentoring Through Purpose, Preparation, and Preceptors by : Pichon, Henrietta Williams
Download or read book African American Leadership and Mentoring Through Purpose, Preparation, and Preceptors written by Pichon, Henrietta Williams and published by IGI Global. This book was released on 2021-12-10 with total page 351 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The lack of African Americans in leadership roles within the academy creates a real crisis in the leadership pipeline. One of the problems could be that the pathways to leadership for African Americans are less visible. They can see the end result but may be less clear about how to get there. Oftentimes, understanding these pathways to leadership is less academic in nature and more informal and/or relational. Thus, the relationship between leadership and mentorship for African Americans is especially important to advancing in the academy. Further guidance and understanding of steps to advancement from established African American leaders in the academy is therefore needed. African American Leadership and Mentoring Through Purpose, Preparation, and Preceptors provides an exhaustive exploration of leadership and mentorship through purpose, preparation, and preceptors. This edited book explains how to identify ways that individuals can strengthen their career trajectory, determine strategies to employ for career advancement, establish lasting and impactful connections with key stakeholders per career aspirations, provide guidance for individuals seeking advancement within the academy, and explore current theoretical and practical nuances with regard to research, literature, and application of leadership and mentorship of African Americans in the academy. Covering topics such as cross-racial mentorship, emotionally intelligent leadership, and African American leaders, this text is ideal for teachers, faculty, university administrators, leaders in education, aspiring future leaders, researchers, academicians, and students.

This book was released on 2021-03-19 with total page 877 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The role of women in the workplace has rapidly advanced and changed within the previous decade, leading to a current position in which women are taking over leadership roles and being offered these positions more than ever before. However, a gap still exists with the representation of women in the workforce especially in power positions and roles of authority in organizations. While the representation of women in leadership roles is impressive and exciting for the future, women still face many challenges when taking over these positions of power and face many issues related to gender inclusivity. There is also still gender bias and discrimination against women who have been given the opportunity to become authority figures. It is essential to acknowledge and discuss these critical issues and challenges that women in leadership roles must handle to better understand the current climate of gender roles across various industries and types of leadership. The Research Anthology on Challenges for Women in Leadership Roles discusses the role of women in positions of authority across diverse industries and businesses. By reviewing the biases, struggles, discrimination, and overall challenges of being a woman in a powerful role, women leaders can be better understood for their role in a male-dominated world. This includes topics of concern such as equal treatment, proper implementation of women’s policies, social justice activism, discrimination, and sexual harassment in the workplace, and the importance of diversity and empowerment of women in leadership positions with chapters pertaining specifically to African-American, Hispanic, Asian, and Middle Eastern women. This book is ideal for professionals, researchers, managers, executives, leaders, academicians, sociologists, policymakers, and students in fields that include humanities, social sciences, women’s studies, gender studies, business management, management science, health sciences, educational studies, and political sciences.
Book Synopsis Rising to the Top by : Shirley Jeanette Everett
Download or read book Rising to the Top written by Shirley Jeanette Everett and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "There are very few women, in particular, African American women, leaders holding high-level positions in U.S. institutions of higher education as compared to their white male counterparts. This qualitative descriptive study sought to explore and understand the lived experiences of 10 African American women that held, or currently hold, positions ranging from high-level to executive-level leadership roles in U.S. higher education administration. From the interviews, seven thematic categories emerged, namely, 1) Beginning the Journey; 2) Motivation for the Journey; 3) Climbing the Mountain: Process of Reaching the Top; 4) Navigating the Contested Terrain; 5) Personal Costs and Losses During the Journey; 6) Race Matters: An Added Hardship on the Journey; and 7) Roadmaps for the Next Travelers. The findings provided insight into the major factors that African American women leaders believe have contributed to or impeded their rise within higher education. The factors, in part, contributing to the participant's advancement included their faith in a higher being and artifacts in their offices to inspire them during difficult times; a circle of counselors that comprise family and mentoring support to advise them; education and professional development; the desire to make a difference, being passionate about serving others, and having a voice at the table; and claiming their racial and gender identities as strengths. The factors that impeded the participants' advancement were race and gender bias, exclusionary practices, stereotypes and coded language, unfair hiring practices, loneliness and isolation, not enough voices at the proverbial table, and lastly, the costs of life choices. More research is needed and policies developed to aid higher education senior administrators in preparing young African American women leaders for high-level positions in higher education administration."--Abstract, p. 1.

This book was released on 2019 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gender studies in the professional realm has long been a heavily researched field, with many feminist texts studying topics including the wage gap and family life. However, female administration in higher education remains largely understudied, particularly on the influence of personal, professional, and societal factors on women. There is a need for studies that seek to understand how gender intersects with the multiple dimensions of women leaders' personhoods, such as family status, marital status, age, race, ethnicity, and sexual orientation, to inform women's career path experiences and leadership aspirations. Challenges and Opportunities for Women in Higher Education Leadership is a pivotal reference source that provides vital research on the specific challenges, issues, strategies, and solutions that are associated with diverse leadership in higher education. While highlighting topics such as educational administration, leader mentorship, and professional promotion, this publication explores evidence-based professional practice for women in higher education who are currently in or are seeking positions of leadership, as well as the methods of nurturing women in administrative positions. This book is ideally designed for educators, researchers, academicians, scholars, policymakers, educational administrators, graduate-level students, and pre-service teachers seeking current research on the state of educational leadership in regard to gender.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Handbook on Promoting Social Justice in Education explores social justice elements across the global human continuum in the field of education and offers the skills and ways of thinking to achieve a more equitable, caring and fair world. Education is not the sole or even the primary answer to social justice as this would assume educators have control over the complexity of one’s nation/states and multi or transnational organizations, and especially the diversity by context of family life. What education does offer are the skills and ways of thinking to achieve a more equitable, caring, and fair world in pursuit of achieving the ends of social justice. The handbook will look at three major themes—Political Inequality, Educational Economic Inequality, and Cultural Inequality. Editorial Board Khalid ArarKadir BeyciogluFenwick EnglishAletha M.

Book Synopsis Black Women's Pathways to Executive Academic Leadership by : Crystal Chanmbers
Download or read book Black Women's Pathways to Executive Academic Leadership written by Crystal Chanmbers and published by . This book was released on 2023-09-30 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In their 2011 volume Answering the Call: African American Women in Higher EducationLeadership (Stylus), Beverly L. Bower and Mimi Wolverton assert that while the leadershipindustry is lush in its production of literature, there is little that focuses on the leadershipexperience of women of color. This work follows a tradition wherein women of color tell theirown stories and readers are left to draw themes across the volume in order to take directionsfor their own leadership and career pathways (See, e.g., Sisters of the Academy: Emergent BlackWomen Scholars in Higher Education [2001, Stylus], Black Women in the Academy: Promisesand Perils [1997, University Press of Florida], and Journeys of Social Justice: Women of ColorPresidents in the Academy [2019, Peter Lang]. In Pathways to Higher Education Administrationfor African American Women (2012, Stylus), conversations regarding the cultivation ofleadership skills and navigation of pathways are topically driven but written by women who aremostly scholars and are not in senior executive positions. In addition, this volume is whollyoriented in the four-year institutional sector. The current volume bridges these traditions bypresenting the stories of women who are senior executives in community colleges, historicallyBlack and historically White institutions. Moreover, it could provide an updated take for Styluson Black women's leadership at a time when there is increasing focus on Black women inleadership roles more generally (see e.g., Lead from the Outside: How to Build your Future andMake Real Change [2018, Henry Holt & Co.]; How Exceptional Black Women Lead [2017, IncitePublishing], Your Next Level Life: 7 Rules of Power, Confidence, and Opportunity for BlackWomen in America [2019, Mango], and The Memo: What Women of Color Need to Know toSecure a Seat at the Table [2019, Seal Press]).

Book Synopsis Sharing the Legacy and Narrative Leadership Experiences of Black Women in Education by : Storman, Ashley N.
Download or read book Sharing the Legacy and Narrative Leadership Experiences of Black Women in Education written by Storman, Ashley N. and published by IGI Global. This book was released on 2024-08-28 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The intersection of black feminism and gendered racism has formed a complex narrative that impacts black women's leadership, specifically in predominantly white workspaces. As society wrestles with persistent gender and racial disparities, the stories of black women stand out as both bold and brilliant but stifle their professional opportunities and experiences in academia and education. Despite standing as the most educated demographic nationally and displaying unmatched levels of labor market participation, black women are alarmingly scarce in leadership roles across sectors, also facing significant challenges as educational leaders. Their ascent to higher positions is often impacted by barriers stemming from damaging stereotypes such as the "angry black woman" or the dangerous transition from being perceived as a "work pet" to a "work threat." Against this backdrop, Sharing the Legacy and Narrative Leadership Experiences of Black Women in Education explores black women's challenges, unraveling the narratives that need attention, understanding, and urgent action. Sharing the Legacy and Narrative Leadership Experiences of Black Women in Education invites readers to step into the shoes of black women as leaders in academia and education, providing an authentic and raw glimpse into their experiences. The book challenges societal workplace expectations and attempts to reshape conversations around how intersectionality cross-connects with diversity, equity, and inclusion. By intertwining powerful storytelling with compelling research, it seeks to dismantle the barriers that have hindered the progress of black women with a focus on offering relevant theoretical frameworks and the latest academic research. The book empowers leaders, educators, and organizations to become allies in the fight for a more equitable workplace for black women in leadership. It envisions a future where black women can feel empowered to be authentic while thriving and leading with unapologetic determination.
