Papers by Tanya Fitzgerald
In this book the authors use the metaphor of a mirage to map the current climate in higher education and examine whether equity and equality policies and practices have had an impact on the participation of women as leaders and managers in higher education.
This book will be of interest to those working in the fields of educational leadership, gender studies, and higher education as researchers, teachers, postgraduate students and practitioners. The authors offer a comparative approach to examining and understanding how gender and leadership are played out in various institutions of higher education across Australia and New Zealand.
