  • Chapter
Women, Universities, and Change

Part of the book series: Issues in Higher Education ((IHIGHER))

Abstract

Envisioning gender equality measures as a dimension of university change opens new possibilities to rethink gender activism within the dominant framework of competitive markets and entrepreneurialism. Success will depend on persistent and consistent work over an extended time to adjust to external environmental change. Challenges to gender equality progress are inevitable, but good leaders and committed activists will not be daunted. Excellence in research and teaching calls for having the best talent in our universities, whatever their gender and background.
