Continuity and Change in Academic Careers

Kate White and Barbara Bagilhole

Chapter 8 in Generation and Gender in Academia, 2013, pp 169-195 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract In the previous chapter the four younger women in the WHEM Net-work reflected on their efforts to build academic careers in a period of rapid change in higher education (HE). Some elements of their career experience resonated with the narratives of the more mature women — the length of time taken to establish a career, and both overt and covert gender discrimination in HE. But there was evidence that the expectations of these women about their present and future careers were quite different, as discussed below.
