Description
Introduction The Oxford Round Table, "Women in the Academy," brought together scholars from a wide range of universities and colleges. Several scholars had studied how their individual institutions had fared in working to bring about changes in culture and practice so that women faculty members experienced fairer treatment than they had earlier in their institutions' history. With these findings as backdrop, our question concerns a related institutional responsibility: educating students to confront gender discrimination and contribute to equity during and after college. We acknowledge that educating students--women and men--for this learning outcome is often assumed when students are educated in colleges and universities that make social justice a priority for all students on campus. But the question remains: How might institutions better meet their responsibilities?
