Overview
CHOICE 2015 Outstanding Academic TitleWhat do women academics classify as challenging, inequitable, or \"hostile\" work environments and experiences? How do these vary by women's race/ethnicity, rank, sexual orientation, or other social locations?How do academic cultures and organizational structures work independently and in tandem to foster or challenge such work climates?What actions can institutions and individuals-independently and collectively-take toward equity in the academy?Despite tremendous progress toward gender equality and equity in institutions of higher education, deep patterns of discrimination against women in the academy persist.
