Work and family concerns are increasingly on the radar of colleges and universities. These concerns emerge out of workplace norms suggesting that for employees and students to be successful, they must be “ideal workers”. This volume explores work norms in higher education, focusing on the ways that employees and students interpret and experience ideal worker expectations in light of family responsibilities. Chapters address how the ideal worker norms vary for tenured and non-tenure track faculty, administrators, undergraduate and graduate students, and offers recommendations for modifying work norms to promote work-family balance for all constituents. This is the 176th volume of the Jossey-Bass quarterly report series New Directions for Higher Education. Addressed to presidents, vice presidents, deans, and other higher education decision makers on all kinds of campuses, it provides timely information and authoritative advice about major issues and administrative problems confronting every institution.

This volume provides a critical examination of the status of women and gender in higher education today. Despite the increasing numbers of women in higher education, gendered structures continue to hinder women’s advancement in academia. This book goes beyond the numbers to examine the issues facing those members of academia with non-dominant gender identities. The authors analyze higher education structures from a range of perspectives and offer recommendations at individual and institutional levels to encourage activism and advance equality in academia.

Fight for the human rights of LGBT individuals with strategies from this powerful book! From the intimate horror of domestic violence to the institutionalized heterosexism of marriage laws, this volume takes an unsparing look at the interconnections of prejudice and hate crimes in the lives of LGBT individuals. Bringing together original research and solidly grounded theory, From Hate Crimes to Human Rights: A Tribute to Matthew Shepard also offers fresh strategies so you can work effectively for social change. This moving, thoughtful volume begins with a friend's memoir of the murdered Matthew Shepard; this intimate glimpse is powerful testimony that hate crimes affect individuals, not just symbolic martyrs. From Hate Crimes to Human Rights drags hidden homophobia from the closet and examines it with clean, incisive intelligence. It tackles taboo topics, including: what the Bible really says about homosexuality how minority cultures sometimes foster hatred against the LGBT individuals in their midst why child welfare services don't protect LGBT youth from peer violence how internalized LGBT self-hatred can be expressed as domestic violence Hate crimes do not occur in a cultural vacuum. From Hate Crimes to Human Rights searches out the roots of hatred and suggests ways to eradicate them, drawing on economics, theology, and linguistics as well as sociology, history, and political science. Specific suggestions include: how to use language as a social and cultural change strategy what individuals and universities can do to promote human rights how to make use of the intersection of difference and tolerance to prevent hate crimes why equal treatment for LGBT individuals is a human rights issue, not a special-interest advantage From Hate Crimes to Human Rights provides powerful explanations of the ways hatred generates hate crimes and proposes positive action you can take to validate human rights. A Statement from the Authors One of the premises of this book is that if we want to progress from hate crimes to human rights, we must learn to respect, honor, and celebrate diversity. The chapter authors exemplify a rainbow of ethnicities, sexual orientations, and gender identities. Each of us is committed to advocate for human rights and to work to end hate crime. Toward those ends, the royalties from the sale of this book will go directly to a memorial fund that has been established at Monmouth University in Matthew Shepard's honor. The proceeds from that fund will be used to support students in their preparation for human rights advocacy.

كلمة المحررين: يُعَدّ رئيس القسم الأكاديمي أحد أهم الموظفين الأكاديميّين في أي كلية أو جامعة؛ وذلك يعود إلى أنه يتولى أو يقوم بالإشراف على الوحدة الأكاديمية الرئيسة للمؤسسة التعليمية. وبالرغم من هذه الأهمية القصوى لهذا المنصب نجد في معظم الأحيان أن من يتولى هذا المنصب الأكاديمي تنقصه الخبرة الإدارية الكافية، ولم يدرْ في خَلَده أثناء دراسته العليا أنه ربما يتولى رئاسة القسم الأكاديمي الذي يعمل به. ويتناول هذا الكتاب بالدراسة والتحليل العديد من القضايا المتعلقة بسبل الارتقاء بمهنة رئيس القسم، وبخاصة كيف يمكن أن تسهم الكليات والجامعات بمساعدة الأساتذة ليهيئوا أنفسهم لتولي هذا المنصب الصعب، وما هي المجالات التي يمكن أن تقوم بها من أجل دعم رؤساء الأقسام حتى يقوموا بخدمة أقسامهم الأكاديمية ومؤسساتهم التعليمية. وناقش هذا الكتاب أيضا قضية: كيف يمكن لرؤساء الأقسام أن يستمروا في تطوير مهاراتهم الإدارية أثناء ممارستهم لدورهم القيادي هذا؟، وكيف يمكن لهم أن يهيئوا أنفسهم للحياة الأكاديمية بعد إتمامهم فترة عملهم رؤساء للأقسام الأكاديمية؟
