Women Educators' Experiences during COVID-19

On the Front Lines

Description

Women Educators’ Experiences During COVID-19: On the Front Lines examines the gendered experiences, challenges, and rapid changes faced by women in higher education during COVID-19. The book’s chapters cover lived experiences ranging from graduate students navigating the pandemic to those grappling with balancing motherhood and the academy. Through these diverse perspectives, this edited collection explores the impact of the diversity and nuances of the feminine identity on navigating higher education during an international health crisis. Ultimately, contributors provide recommendations for best practices and suggestions for change for administrators, faculty, and policymakers to dismantle the academy as a male-dominated institution. Scholars of communication, gender studies, and higher education will find this book of particular interest.

“Academic women—If your “Things I don’t have time to do” list is expanding daily and if you’re tired of institutional platitudes about wellbeing, this book will resonate. The authors write with grace and insight about the challenges female academics face and how the pandemic accelerated these. Prepare to have a lot of “Well said!” thoughts as you turn the pages."

Heather Kavan, Massey University
“This edited collection opens up important conversations about the experiences of faculty and students during this health crisis, with attention to the many ways gender bias intersected with other forms of discrimination and marginalization. The summary section on rights and recommendations should be required reading for those who hope to improve academic environments in the future."

Faber McAlister, Drake University
