In the academy, many women contest gender-based stereotypes as they strive to shatter the glass ceiling by pursuing education, careers, and advancement. Women in academia may experience substantial discrimination in comparison to their male peers. This presentation reviews four research trends in discrimination in higher education. First, prejudice against women academics is prominent in the oppressive gender inequality to which they are regularly subjected. Next, women experience bias in workplace sexism. Moreover, women of color in the academy may be additionally confronted with gender-based racial discrimination. Finally, women academics may also experience inequity based on their current or potential status as mothers, which intolerance may hinder their careers and futures. These elements of discrimination may be perpetuated largely by the dominant oft male-governed institutions of higher education. As women pursue academic careers they are stymied by the exclusive, abusive nature of predominantly male social networks, e.g., \u201cgood old boys\u201d clubs, that ensure the success, notoriety, and advancement of men. Researchers have reported that higher education may perpetuate an environment that is hostile for women. This may be due to the attitudes and actions of administrators, fellow faculty, staff, and students toward women academics. Future directions for research are discussed, including the need to explore the gender-specific sacrifices that women academics must make to be successful in their careers and co-exist with males in mutually nurturing environment.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">PSY 499, Capstone<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mary Ann Winter-Messiers<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">P114<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3 &#8211; 3:30 PM<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/spreadsheets\/d\/1ewWtaI0atW6gSZbSl51MXlKBHpgJci9NGmuY2PVLhPE\/edit?usp=sharing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Return to schedule<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Women in Academe Females have long been undermined and abused throughout history when societal expectations surrounding the roles of women are challenged.
