Abstract
Universities are essentially seen as gendered, rewarding the competencies and skills supposedly associated with men, thereby placing male academics as ‘gatekeepers’ to career progression and central to decision-making processes. In particular, academic leadership is associated with (masculine) agentic attributes, namely ambition, aggression, self-confidence and independence (Madera, Hebl, & Martin, 2009).
