Palgrave Studies in Gender and Education

Contributors: Barnard, Sarah; Wroblewski, Angela

This edited book explores the role of higher education management during crises and analyses the responses and gendered consequences for women in particular. Contributions adopt multidimensional, multilevel and intersectional approaches to gender inequalities to better understand power relations as expressed through institutional and cultural change processes. The chapters explore the ways in which crises play out and the extent to which they undermine, ratify or reconfigure gender relations in higher education. Contributing authors from different geographical locations also reflect on how higher education management conceives of gender when responding to crisis, as well as the consequences of a binary approach and related essentialism. The book will be of interest to students and researchers in the fields of higher education, gender studies and organisation and management studies, and higher education leadership and policy makers.
