Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between gender and marginalization in nursing academia. Men continue to be significantly underrepresented in nursing academia because they experience numerous barriers to their integration and success in the profession. A descriptive cross-sectional design was implemented in this pilot study to investigate differences in perceived marginalization between male versus female faculty teaching in Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education-accredited colleges. Marginality was measured using the Englund Marginality Index (EMI). Male nursing faculty participants reported higher scores on the EMI ( M = 43.6, SD = 9.9) than female faculty ( M = 37.2, SD = 9.6), t (1428) = 6.0, p < .001. As the nursing faculty shortage continues to increase, it is imperative that leaders in nursing education steer their efforts toward attracting a more robust and diverse faculty population.
