An End To Leaning In: A New Vision For Women In Leadership Session Full Room 211
Jennie Weiner
Associate Professor of Education Leadership, Neag School of Education
In this session, I will discuss the impetus for the book “Education Lead(her)ship: Advancing Women in K-12 Education Administration” and specifically we will engage in how gender discrimination and gendered racism impact women’s access to and ability to thrive in leadership broadly. I will introduce some ideas to help us make sense of this phenomenon including the concept of the “double bind” in which women leaders must negotiate a thin tightrope of acting neither too “strong” or too “soft” and also discuss a path forward and how to build organizations where all members can thrive.
