Women Professors

Abstract

In Chap. 7, some of the survey data relating to the Boys’ Club culture were discussed. Specific theorists and concepts were also used to work with selected interview excerpts to provide a range of perspectives about academic maneuvers and the positioning of women in these. In this chapter, luck is considered because it was referred to regularly by women professors.

Notes

  1. 1.

    The first letter indicates whether the data source was the survey (S), focus group interview (FG), individual phone interview (IP), or individual email interview (IE). The second letter indicates if the academic was female (F) or male (M). Note that all focus group and individual interviewees were female. A one- to three-digit code was also assigned to participants in the surveys (N = 520), focus group interviews (n = 21), and individual phone and email interviews (n = 8).
