The National Study on Women in Higher Education and Student Affairs

The following three sets of slideshows and annotated bibliographies are available to download for courses and professional development opportunities. The materials were developed by Penny A. Pasque and Brenton Wimmer and were funded by a grant through the American College Personnel Association (ACPA) Commission for Professional Preparation.

This information may be useful for courses on gender in higher education and student affairs, diversity in higher education, intergroup dialogue courses that focus on gender, qualitative research and additional related courses. In addition, the slideshows might be beneficial for a class session or workshop on women leadership, mentoring between women, intersectionality, or other related topics.
