A feminist model of institutional transformation: a case
study of one campus-based women's center.

▼ Over the past twenty years,
women have made tremendous
gains in accessing higher education, especially at the
undergraduate level. However, this alone does not mean that gender
equity has been achieved.
Women are not represented equally across
the academic disciplines; they are less likely to pursue advanced
degrees at the same level of men; and women’
s experience, at all
levels, still points to inequities on our college campuses. This
study examined the role of one campus-based women’
s center in
advancing institutional transformation on gender equity and the
perceptions and experiences of women’
s center staff in the
transformation process. The participants included Women’
s Center
staff members, key administrators and faculty, and student interns
at the Women’
s Center. Based on a descriptive, case-study approach
multiple methods were used including interviews, focus groups, and
document analysis. The interview protocol was based on Safarik’
s
(2003) Model of Feminist Institutional Transformation, to better
understand the dynamic process and experience of institutional
transformation. This study found that the mission and activities of
the Women’
s Center focused on the personal development and support
of individual students, rather than on institutional
transformation. Furthermore, the staff perceived institutional
transformation as something best initiated at the faculty level.
This study’
s findings also suggest that the Women’
s Center
leadership has to negotiate an insider/outsider role when
addressing issues of transformation. A significant finding was that
the process of institutional transformation may be negatively
impacted by a lack of different feminist philosophies represented
at the Women’
s Center. This supports Safarik’
s model, which
suggests that by having multiple feminist philosophies represented,
transformation efforts are better supported and sustained over
time. This study raises several implications for practice. First,
campus goals related to institutional transformation on issues of
gender equity should be reflected in the mission and programs of
the women’
s center. Second, campus
leadership should consider
having the women’
s center report to an academic affairs unit, where
there may be more ability to impact change at the institutional
level. Next, women’
s center
leadership and staff need to be
prepared for the challenges, and opportunities, that come with
being both an insider and outsider at the university. This may mean
having to be a voice for important gender-related issues and
navigating the associated campus response. Fourth, campus
leadership and women’
s center staff should work toward a common
understanding of the role that feminism plays in informing the
women’
s center’
s mission, programs, and approaches to institutional
change. And finally, women’
s centers should be professionally
staffed by more than one person and should aim to represent a
diversity of feminist philosophies and approaches to
change.

▼ This descriptive study examined the career development of women executive leaders based on data from a sample of community and technical college leaders. The purpose of this study was to identify and describe the dimensions of support
necessary for women to be successful in attaining executive leadership positions in community and technical colleges. A 25-question survey instrument was developed by the researcher based on the literature and preliminary interviews with executive
leaders. Women executive leaders in community and technical colleges were asked to rate the importance of the survey items to their career development. The 147 participants in the study were an average age of 53.3 years; 84.6% were Caucasian, 9.6% were
African American and .7% were Asian. Participants were 29 presidents and 111vice-presidents of community and technical colleges in the Southeastern United States. Forty-two and one-half percent of the respondents held Doctoral degrees, 30.8% held
Masters’ degrees, 9.6% held Bachelor’s degrees, 8.9% held Educational Specialist degrees and 4.8% were All but Dissertation. An exploratory factor analysis was performed to identify seven dimensions of support necessary in the career development of
women: peer support, professional support, departmental support, mentoring support, home and community support, gender support, and networking support. Peer Support and Professional Support represent new findings, thereby adding to the literature on
women in leadership and women’s career development. An analysis of comments to open response items revealed the following components perceived as influential in the career development of women in community and technical college leadership: guidance by
senior leadership, family members, mentors, personal desire, leadership seminars, and peers. Barriers encountered by women in community and technical college leadership were identified as: family/household responsibilities, gender discrimination/bias,
office politics, self doubt, racial discrimination, and age discrimination.

▼ This intrinsic case study of the
Women'
s Leadership
Initiative at St. James Catholic College (SJCC) examines the
multicultural dimensions of
women'
s leadership in an all-female
institutional context. Grounded in poststructuralist feminist,
positionality, psychosociocultural, and student development
theories, the study legitimates pluralized conceptions of female
leadership and advocates for a new functional paradigm in
leadership research. By critiquing earlier studies that assessed
leadership with gender-biased criteria, this study resituates
womanhood, culture, and power within the respondents'
internalization and actualization of
leadership ideals. Primary
narrative accounts gathered from nine SJCC
Leadership Scholars are
corroborated with archival and observational data and analyzed
within four thematic categories: redefining
women'
s leadership,
family influence, cultural contexts on a conservative campus, and
feminist consciousness. Conclusions examine the processes of
boundary defiance, self/other conceptions, and multiple identity
associations. Advocacy-based policy recommendations include a
progressive four-year
leadership curriculum, multicultural
living-learning communities, diverse
leadership mentors, and
purposeful cross-campus collaboration.

▼ The purpose of this study was to examine the leadership roles of women in contemporary white supremacist organizations, with a focus on women in the Ku Klux Klan. The research questions guiding this study were: 1) What are the common
leadership practices of women who participate in white supremacist organizations? 2) How do the women who participate in white supremacist organizations use their position as leaders to promote social change? 3) How does the phenomenon of white supremacy
and patriarchy affect women’s leadership roles? A qualitative study was conducted, collecting data using interviews, documents, and field notes. Purposive sampling was the technique used to identify twelve women. Data analysis was completed using the
constant comparative method as the specific tool used to uncover emerging commonalities and themes among the twelve research participants. Analysis of the data revealed the following themes: 1) Women who participate in white supremacist organizations
share the common practice of social homemaking, organizing and event planning, and recruiting; 2) Women who participate in white supremacist organizations use their position as leaders to promote social change through community reform and educational
reform; and 3) Women who participate in white supremacist organizations have been able to negotiate power for themselves and develop a leadership role. Three major conclusions were drawn from the findings of this study. The first conclusion is that if it
weren’t for the women, contemporary white supremacist organizations would have a much different profile, since it is the women who are often responsible for recruitment and retention. The second conclusion is that women who participate in white
supremacist organizations have chosen a tactic, assuming the title of and presenting themselves as leaders. While these women might have positional power, they do not have authority. The third conclusion is that if an organization, cause, or social
movement is patriarchal in structure, women who work as organizers, volunteers, and activists are still doing the same thing, still performing the same functions in their gendered roles.

▼ [pt] Este estudo teve como objetivo analisar a
liderança autêntica e sua relação com outros conceitos como gênero
na liderança, compartilhamento de conhecimento, empoderamento e
intenção de turnover. O trabalho traz algumas das principais
teorias sobre o assunto e é baseado em um levantamento realizado
junto a uma grande empresa brasileira. Alguns resultados confirmam
as hipóteses e reforçam a relação entre a liderança autêntica e a
liderança feminina, a liderança autêntica e o empoderamento e a
liderança autêntica e a intenção de turnover. Uma hipótese não foi
confirmada, a relação entre liderança autêntica e compartilhamento
de conhecimento. Todas as hipóteses, confirmadas ou não, criam uma
série de possibilidades para pesquisas futuras, que podem
aprofundar o conhecimento sobre o tema, ampliar as teorias sobre
liderança autêntica e ainda contribuir para a compreensão do que
acontece na prática dentro das organizações.

brings some major theories of the subject and is based on a survey
conducted with a large Brazilian company. Some results confirm the
hypotheses and reinforce the link between authentic leadership and
female leadership, authentic leadership and empowerment and
authentic leadership and intent to turnover. One hypothesis was not
confirmed, the link between authentic leadership and knowledge

▼ The present study investigates the emergent process of femminine community leaderships in the field of the fight for the health. Being as reference the policies and programs of the womans health, the developed analysis tried to show as five women, residents of neighborhoods of the periphery of the city of Londrina - PR, in the search for the service of their demands of health, they define strategies and they establish relationships with the several social agents involved in the definition and the execution of those policies. The study focuses the relevance of the gender for the understanding of the following roads for those women and the fight strategies that establish, front to an official calendar that, historically, it has been guided by a practice that reinforces the womans traditional paper and it reproduces control forms and oppression contributing to the maintenance of the gender inequalities. The research and developed analyses suggest that, although those womens performance finds limitations in terms of potential transformer of the practices and of the policies of the womens health, to the they move through several fields (religious, education, cultural, political), generate conditions for the enlargement of their participation spaces, so much throught the nets social maids in their communities and womens popular associations, as for the occupation of institutional spaces as the healths councils and conferences. In their paths, besides they occupy spaces and they build channels for the which pass their claims, they appropriated and (reverse) they interpret speeches, (reverse) they mean practices and (reverse) they build identities.
O presente estudo investiga o processo de emergência de lideranças comunitárias femininas no campo da luta pela saúde. Tendo como referência as políticas e programas de saúde da mulher, a análise desenvolvida procurou mostrar como cinco mulheres, moradoras de bairros da periferia da cidade de Londrina - PR, na busca pelo atendimento de suas demandas de saúde, definem estratégias e estabelecem relações com os diversos agentes sociais envolvidos na definição e na execução dessas políticas. O estudo enfoca a relevância do gênero para a compreensão dos caminhos seguidos por essas mulheres e das estratégias de luta que estabelecem, frente a uma agenda oficial que, historicamente, tem sido orientada por uma prática que reforça o papel tradicional da mulher e reproduz formas de controle e de opressão contribuindo para a manutenção das desigualdades de gênero. A pesquisa e análises desenvolvidas sugerem que, embora a atuação dessas mulheres encontre limitações em termos de potencial transformador das práticas e das políticas de saúde da mulher, ao transitarem por vários campos (religioso, educacional, cultural, político) geram condições para a ampliação de seus espaços de participação, tanto por meio das redes sociais criadas nas suas comunidades e associações populares de mulheres, quanto pela ocupação dos espaços institucionais como os conselhos e conferências de saúde.

▼ This qualitative study examined the college related
sources of impact that sorority member students perceived affected
their identity development. A variant of Flanagan'
s (1954) Critical
Incident Technique was used to ask sorority members (n=70) to
describe one or two critical incidents that they believed had
affected their sense of self, and then to rate the immediate
positivity of the incident, as well its eventual effect on their
sense of self. Three doctoral students reviewed the 100 obtained
incident reports, from which they developed 14 themes:
Participating in rush an/or joining a sorority; Being elected or
serving in a sorority
leadership position; Dealing with crisis;
Receiving the support of sisters with in the sorority network;
Being elected or serving in a
leadership position in a campus
related organization; Learning about myself as a result of a
romantic relationship; Making an important, independent decision
for myself; Making a commitment to community service and outreach;
Sorority affiliated judgment or rejection; Having an experience of
failure; Making the transition from home to college; Studying
abroad; Receiving personal or career guidance from others; Engaging
in a selfless act of compassion. The findings of this study provide
valuable insight and knowledge to the potential benefits of
sorority affiliation in regards to college
women'
s identity
development. The findings also support previous research on
women'
s
identity development and suggest gender specific developmental
pathways. In congruence with student development research and
theory, experiences related to student involvement, relationship,
autonomy and crisis were prevalent in the participant responses.
The limitations of the study, recommendations for future research
and implications for higher education practice are also
presented.
