It examines central challenges associated with the lives of women scholars and higher education professionals, including their professional identity, institutional expectations, lessons learned throughout their career experiences in higher education, and navigating between multiple roles. In turn, the book highlights the importance of both formal and informal networks of support. Each contributing author presents authentic examples from her lived experiences as a woman in the academy, situating her personal narrative within previous research in the field. Taken together, the respective chapters equip readers with a deeper understanding of the experiences of women in the academic world. This book is inclusive in nature, showcasing experiences from women who are scholars, students and higher education professionals. The book makes a significant and unique contribution to the field of gender studies, with a focus on women negotiating life in the academic world and within the Canadian context. The evidence and insights shared here will benefit all scholars in women?s studies and comparative studies, as well as those considering a career in higher education. 606 $aGender identity in education 606 $aEducational policy 606 $aEducation and state 606 $aHigher education 606 $aWomen 606 $aEducational sociology  606 $aEducation and sociology 606 $aEducational sociology 606 $aGender and Education$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/O45000 606 $aEducational Policy and Politics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/O19000 606 $aHigher Education$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/O36000 606 $aWomen's Studies$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X35040 606 $aSociology of Education$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X22070 606 $aSociology of Education$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/O29000 615 0$aGender identity in education. 615 0$aEducational policy. 615 0$aEducation and state. 615 0$aHigher education. 615 0$aWomen. 615 0$aEducational sociology . 615 0$aEducation and sociology. 615 0$aEducational sociology. 615 14$aGender and Education. 615 24$aEducational Policy and Politics. 615 24$aHigher Education. 615 24$aWomen's Studies. 615 24$aSociology of Education. 615 24$aSociology of Education. 676 $a305.420971 702 $aEaton$b Sarah Elaine$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aBurns$b Amy$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910410017803321 996 $aWomen Negotiating Life in the Academy$92266249 997 $aUNINA
