Biographical note
Margaret W. Sallee is Associate Professor and Higher Education Program Coordinator in the Department of Educational Leadership and Policy at the University at Buffalo. Her research focuses on two broad areas: faculty work and the graduate student experience. She uses a critical lens to examine the intersection of individual experiences and organizational culture to interrogate the ways in which gender and other social identities operate on college campuses. She has spent much of the past decade focusing on work/life balance and the ways in which institutional norms and culture shape parentsâ experiences on and off-campus. She also is deeply interested in how gender affects individualsâ experiences and is particularly interested in the role that gender and masculinities play in menâs lives.<p>âEvery once in a while a book is published that changes our profession and how we do our work. Creating Sustainable Careers in Student Affairs is that book! This book is a must-read series of insightful chapters as contributors unpack the norms associated with the concept of the âideal worker.â As we think about student affairs work of the future, this book should be required reading for every educator and practitioner.â</p><p>Tony Cawthon, Alumni Distinguished Professor, and Director, Graduate Studies, Student Affairs & Higher Education</p><p>Clemson University</p><p>âIn Creating Sustainable Careers in Student Affairs, Margaret W. Sallee and colleagues provide a new dimension to the dialogue and research literature on invisible labor in the academy. Using the ideal worker model to frame the institutional cultures and structures that create and perpetuate inequitable work demands, Sallee and colleagues offer evidence of and recommendations for actions to reduce these inequities. This is a must-read for all higher education leaders, faculty, and human resource professionals who work in or support the student affairs profession.â</p><p>Jaime Lester, Associate Dean of Faculty Affairs and Strategic Initiatives, and Professor, Higher Education Program, College of Humanities and Social Science</p><p>George Mason University</p><p>âThis book could not have come at a better time. For years, weâve behaved as if you canât have a successful student affairs operation if your team isnât 24/7, never-saynever, go-down-with-the-ship, . . . and weâve watched as promising professionals sadly, and sometimes defiantly, walk away. 2020 has showed us there are, and must be, other paths forward, and Creating Sustainable Careers in Student Affairs will help illuminate the way.â</p><p>Melissa S.
