Women in Catholic Higher Education

Border Work, Living Experiences, and Social Justice

Herausgeber: Hesse-Biber, Sharlene; Leckenby, Denise

Beschreibung

Delving into discourse traditionally silenced by the Catholic hierarchy, this edited collection observes the ways in which patriarchal structures often hinder women's advancement within Catholic institutions of higher learning. The contributors describe their own conflicts and successes in their attempts to negotiate their academic careers and personal lives in the context of the clash between secular and Catholic patriarchal values. The contributors suggest concrete steps toward social justice for women who teach and work in Catholic higher education.
