University and College Women's Centers
Author: Sharon L. DaviePublisher: Greenwood
ISBN:
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 560
Book Description
Women's centers in universities and colleges in the United States are flourishing as they transform individuals and institutions, providing education that combines the academic and activist, and develop leadership that is rooted in collaboration. This handbook provides insights from women's center directors at institutions across the country on how best to build a women's center that can improve the quality of women's experiences in college. The best centers aid universities and colleges in responding to particularly difficult challenges in higher education related to gender. Practical information is included on specific programs, providing an overview of successful centers. The institutional environments examined are diverse, ranging from research universities to community colleges, from large state-supported land grant institutions to small private liberal arts colleges. Chapters focusing on the structural issues of creating and transforming a center explore how to create crucial components of women's centers, such as leadership development programs, distinguished artists and scholars series, information and referral services for non-traditional students, women-centered counseling services, resource libraries, publications, and internship programs that involve both academic and experiential learning. Other chapters focus on social issues and the intransigent and wide-ranging challenges facing centers, including for example, sexual harassment, racial divisions among students, the climate for women in the sciences, and the need to build a stronger sense of intellectual community outside the classroom. The directors of women's centers around the country respond to these and other problems, and provide an overview of some of the best practices related to responding to a number of very difficult challenges in higher education.
Understanding Equity in Community College Practice
Author: Erin L. CastroPublisher: John Wiley & Sons
ISBN: 1119216036

Pages : 119
Book Description
What do equity-oriented practices look like in different community college contexts? Given the increasing role of the community college in realizing equitable outcomes for students, examples of what practitioners are doing to move forward an equity agenda are urgently needed. The diverse perspectives and issues in these chapters explicitly advance an equity agenda and offer: Conceptual and empirical rationales to support equity-oriented practices, Examples of programming and practice that support the lives and livelihoods of underserved student populations, and Examples of policy, programming, and thinking that emphasize the role of the community college in expanding educational opportunity for underserved students. Driven by a change in thinking and imagination, these examples show how practitioners can—and should—tailor programming in light of larger patterns of inequality. This is the 172nd volume of this Jossey-Bass quarterly report series. Essential to the professional libraries of presidents, vice presidents, deans, and other leaders in today's open-door institutions, New Directions for Community Colleges provides expert guidance in meeting the challenges of their distinctive and expanding educational mission.

ISBN:
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 124
Book Description
After introductory material by Judith S. Eaton discussing the challenges faced by women in positions of authority at community colleges, this monograph presents eight essays dealing with women in the community college movement. Emily Taylor discusses the backgrounds, attitudes, and characteristics of the small, but growing number of women presidents of community colleges and describes a project undertaken by the American Council on Education to identify talented women administrators. A. Rae Price documents the unequal status of women faculty members and suggests actions for improvement. Lloyd Averill argues that women will best be able to strengthen the humanities by affirming and employing the positive, stereotypically feminine characteristics of the humanist. Carol Eliason examines the critical support role played by women's studies programs in meeting counseling, occupational, and educational needs. Emily B. Kirby examines the role of the community college in helping women overcome stereotypes which block them from non-traditional careers. Joyce A. Smith discusses the role of the trustee, the special responsibilities of women trustees, behaviors that contribute to a new member's success, and the selection of a college president. Linda L. Moore examines the special problems faced by women in management in both the public and private sectors and proposes a method of constructive self-analysis. An ERIC literature review concludes the monograph. (JP)
Beyond Equity at Community Colleges
Author: Sobia Azhar KhanPublisher: Taylor & Francis
ISBN: 1000590682
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 291
Book Description
This volume proposes that the work of community colleges has expanded beyond equity into providing a true barrier-free learning environment for students, one that is attuned to justice. The essays included here serve as evidence and examples of the productive ways in which educators may bring theory and practice to bear on each other, which in turn may allow community college faculty, staff, and administrators to reexamine the role of a community college as a space for justice. Topics explored with this volume include liberatory educational practices in and out of the classroom, transforming classrooms into the site of collaboration and contestation, and unique visions of how to promote opportunity for marginalized students. Ultimately, the goal of this edited volume is to explore and encourage community college educators to understand the integral role they play in bringing transformative justice to their students and their communities.
