Changing the Subject: Women in Higher Education explores these fundamental questions and presents strategies for changing and challenging the mainstream curriculum in Higher Education. Drawing on experience, research and theory, the contributors explore the contradictions that have to be managed by women in academia. The chapters analyse the interrelationship between women's roles and status as workers in higher education, their experiences as teachers and students, their representation within the curriculum, and the tensions between life in and out of the academy. Differences and inequalities between women are confronted: what it is to be an 'ebony woman' in the 'ivory tower', for example, or to be 'caught between two worlds' as a mother and academic.
This diverse collection brings together everyday issues which women teaching and learning in higher education have themselves identified as important. It provides an opportunity to share the successes, struggles and practical strategies of women who are trying to change the 'subject' of higher education. This volume will be of relevance and interest to all those concerned with women's equality and wider educational issues on a personal and professional level.
