The Similarities and Differences in the Work Experience of Women Faculty in Traditional and Nontraditional Disciplines
Xu, Yonghong Jade
New Directions for Institutional Research, n155 p67-83 Aut 2012
In this chapter, the author explores and compares the work experiences of women faculty in fields of different gender compositions with data from three National Study of Postsecondary Faculty (NSOPF: 1993, 1999, and 2004) surveys. By examining the influence of a wide range of factors, this study provides a comprehensive picture of the work experience of women faculty in nontraditional disciplines in comparison to their counterparts in traditional fields. It also traces the changes that have taken place for women and their underrepresentation in certain disciplines from a long-term perspective. (Contains 1 table and 3 figures.)
