Explores the challenges faculty fathers face in navigating the demands
of work and family. For the past two decades, colleges and
universities have focused significant attention on helping female
faculty balance work and family by implementing a series of
family-friendly policies. Although most policies were targeted at men
and women alike, women were intended as the primary targets and
recipients. This groundbreaking book makes clear that including
faculty fathers in institutional efforts is necessary for campuses to
attain gender equity. Based on interviews with seventy faculty fathers
at four research universities around the United States, this book
explores the challenges faculty fathers-from assistant professors to
endowed chairs-face in finding a work/life balance. Margaret W. Sallee
shows how universities frequently punish men who want to be involved
fathers and suggests that cultural change is necessary-not only to
help men who wish to take a greater role with their children, but also
to help women and spouses who are expected to do the same.
