One Month to Proposal Deadline: CFP: Women as Leaders in Education:
Succeeding Despite Inequity, Discrimination, and Other Challenges

Women as Leaders in Education: Succeeding Despite Inequity, Discrimination,
and Other Challenges (working title), a new book published by Praeger, will
bring together a multidisciplinary and multicultural discussion of issues
women educators face, including differences in leadership styles, obstacles
to advancement, and pay, benefit and resource inequity.  This book will
address themes of ethical decision making, authority, power and leadership,
and conflict in organizational life.  It will also discuss interconnections
among equity issues: sex, race, class, age, sexual orientation, and
disability.

Please read below for call for papers.  I, Dr. Jennifer Martin, educator and
Title IX advocate, will edit this volume.  I am looking for scholarly
chapters to include in this text dealing with issues that women educators
(in K-12 and higher education) and educational leaders have faced pre and
post Title IX.  I am looking for a variety of
contributors: K-12 practitioners and administrators, professors of
education, feminist professors, Title IX and feminist advocates, etc.  I
will pay particular attention to issues of intersectionality, social
justice, and the issue of teachers as public intellectuals when vetting
proposals.

Because Praeger's primary market consists of public libraries, this book
will be accessible and geared toward general readers looking to expand their
knowledge and understanding of these topics.  Secondary markets, such as
academic libraries, scholars, students, and researchers will also be drawn
to the array of topics covered.

Some topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
Women and educational leadership: A feminist framework Women's leadership in
K-12 education Women in higher education Women and the principalship Women
and the superintendency Women's leadership styles Feminist leadership
Mentoring of women in education/future women educational leaders Bringing
feminism to the fields of K-12 education and leadership Bridging the gap
between K-12 education (and leadership) and higher education in a feminist
context How feminism can assist women in the field and women who aspire to
become educational leaders or leaders in general Personal stories of women
hitting a glass ceiling in educational leadership Feminist based solutions
to the problem of gender inequity in education from bottom to top An
examination of women in positions of leadership pre and post Title IX
Historical and legal aspects of discrimination of women in education Teacher
leadership A historical examination of the traditionally female field of
education and the limitations or leadership within this realm A global
perspective: Educational leaders working toward educational equity Sexual
harassment of women in education Evaluation of female educational leaders:
Unpacking stereotypes, prejudice and discrimination Women of color as
educational leaders From personal experience: Women educational leaders in
K-12 systems From personal experience: Women educational leaders in higher
