NASTA is a three-university collaboration between Hanken School of Economics, Helsinki School of Economics, and Jyväskylä University. The project combines research, teaching development in business schools, and outreach work in the field of women and leadership in Finnish business, governmental and third sector organisations. Leadership and management remain highly gendered. The differential relations of women and men to leadership and management are a key question for both theory and practice. Recent decades have seen a major international growth of studies on gender relations in leadership, organisations and management, in both empirical research and more general theoretical analysis. Recent research and discussion on the gendering of leadership have been influenced by debates on: feminism; recognition of women and women’s situations, experiences and voices in leadership; organisational culture and communication; divisions of labour, hierarchy, power and authority; imagery and symbolism; information technology; sexuality, harassment, bullying and violence in organisations; home-work relations; men and masculinities in leadership; globalization and transnational questions; intersectionality; and so on. Having said that, the vast majority of mainstream work on leadership retains little or no gender analysis. In most business schools and other universities the position of gender-explicit work on leadership is still not well established. vi The “Leadership through the Gender Lens” international conference brought together critical analyses and debates on gender, leadership and management. How leadership and management are gendered can mean more gender equal or more gender unequal conditions for women and men. This includes how education and training can contribute to gendered leadership and management. The overall aim of the conference was to generate new thinking, policy and action about women, men, gender and leadership. In the conference we sought to provide a creative forum for interaction between scholars and researchers on leadership, organisation and management, together with leaders of different kinds from business, government and community. Contributions were sought from a wide theoretical spectrum, including feminism, equality studies, intersectional studies, organisation and management studies, business studies, postcolonial studies, sociology, industrial relations, marketing, entrepreneurship, innovation studies, education, and philosophy. The presentation of case studies, ethnographies, action research projects and innovative research methodologies was encouraged, as were contributions by and directed towards managers and practitioners. Fifty-six papers were accepted from 18 countries, from Africa, Asia, Australia, Europe and Northern America. The full list of the accepted papers is included at the end of this text. Three keynote presentations were made by Professor Anna Wahl (Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm, Sweden), Professor

  • An Ex Post Facto Study of the Glass Cliff Phenomenon in Higher
    AN EX POST FACTO STUDY OF THE GLASS CLIFF PHENOMENON IN HIGHER EDUCATION PRESIDENCIES by Michelle Louise Samuel Liberty University A Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment Of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy Liberty University 2021 2 AN EX POST FACTO STUDY OF THE GLASS CLIFF PHENOMENON IN HIGHER EDUCATION PRESIDENCIES by Michelle Louise Samuel A Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment Of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy Liberty University, Lynchburg, VA 2021 APPROVED BY: Jillian L. Wendt, Ed.D., Committee Chair Eric G. Lovik, Ph.D., Committee Member 3 ABSTRACT This study reviews if the glass cliff phenomenon is occurring in U.S. higher education presidential hires. This topic is essential to review as U.S. higher education institutions are primarily presided over by male presidents. Female presidents do exist, but more often at more risky institutions. One reason for the lack of equity may be the glass cliff phenomenon, which asserts that women are more likely to be hired into leadership roles at riskier institutions. This inequity in hiring practices places women in leadership positions at considerable career risk. This study is a nonexperimental study using an ex post facto, causal-comparative design using publicly available data. The methods review data on female presidents of private and for-profit U.S. institutions from the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System. Purposive sampling matched female presidents with male presidents at similar institutions. Data from the financial responsibility composite score database from the U.S. Department of Education (2020) are used to look for patterns in financial responsibility composite scores (FRCS) before and after presidential hires.

This report examines the reasons that so few women are in top-level positions in the Civil Service. Only some of the imbalance between men and women in higher grades can be explained by differences in the amount of education and years of Government service. Women also face unfounded stereotypes and assumptions about their abilities and job commitment that serve as subtle barriers to their advancement. The report discusses these barriers and offers recommendations for ways to achieve greater equity for women. We believe you will find this report useful as you consider issues concerning the effective management of Federal employees. Respectfully, Daniel R. Levinson Chairman ~Qr Antonio C. Amador Jessica L.

This book is based on arfcioles origiDally contributed to a weekly of Madras devoted to social reform. At the time of their appearance a wish was expressed that they might be given a more permanent form by elaboration into a book. In fulfilment of this wish I have revised those articles and enlarged them with much additional matter. The book makes no pretentions either to erudition or to originality. Though I have not given references, I have laid under contribution much of the literature bearing on the subject of caste. The book is addressed not to savants, but solely to such mea of common sense as have been drawn to consider the ques­ tion of caste. He who fights social intolerance, slavery and injustice need offer neither substitute nor constructive theory. Caste is a crippli^jg disease. The physicians duty is to guard against diseasb or destroy it. Yet no one considers the work of the physician as negative. The attainment of liberty and justice has always been a negative process. With­ out rebelling against social institutions and destroying custom there can never be the tree exercise of liberty and justice. A physician can, however, be of no use where there is no vita­ lity.

INTRODUCTION Almost every woman has had the experience of being trivialized, regarded as if she is just 'some dumb girl,' of whom few productive accomplishments can be expected. When viewed simply as 'some dumb girls,' women are treated dismissively, as if their thoughts or contributions are unlikely to be of value and are unworthy of consideration. 'Some Dumb Girl Syndrome' can arise in deeply personal spheres. A friend once described an instance of this phenomenon: When a hurricane threatened her coastal community, her husband, a military pilot, was ordered to fly his airplane to a base in the Midwest, far from the destructive reach of the impending storm. This left her alone with their two small children.
