Abstract
The future and the female academic leader: advancing student engagement.
Highlights
The ever-changing face of academic leadership demands constant consideration and as such there is clearly much interest within the community at large to examine this most important of academic roles
The largest examination of the effects of gender on academic leadership is seen with the recent work by Parker and Welch (2013)
The study showed a paucity of female academics at the research center and administrative leadership level but found that females held significantly more leadership positions at the wider discipline level
Summary
The ever-changing face of academic leadership demands constant consideration and as such there is clearly much interest within the community at large to examine this most important of academic roles. An extensive analysis of a large scale dataset was carried out to examine how an individual’s professional network, an individual’s scientific ability or the gender of an individual independently predicted academic leadership at the level of the research center, the level of the university administrator or even at the position of overarching leadership at the level of the specific scientific discipline (Parker and Welch, 2013).
