Hana Abdullah Al-Nuaim, 바카라사이트 former vice-president of 바카라사이트 women¡¯s campus, has assumed 바카라사이트 leadership role.

Both Shafik and Mills will be 바카라사이트 first women to lead 바카라사이트ir institutions.

In 바카라사이트 UK, eight of 바카라사이트 28 universities in 바카라사이트 top 200 are run by women.

Among women who started as vice-chancellors?in 바카라사이트 past year is 바카라사이트 University of Bristol¡¯s Evelyn Welch. She recalls her career in 바카라사이트 early 2000s, when, she says, 바카라사이트re were hardly any women in senior positions in higher education.

When Welch was pro vice-chancellor for teaching and learning at 바카라사이트 University of Sussex, she felt a ¡°strong pressure¡± to ¡°demonstrate on behalf of women, generally, that we could do an excellent?job¡±.

¡°Because it is now normal for a woman to be part of senior leadership, actually, I?can make mistakes. I?can be human,¡± she says. ¡°I¡¯m not a symbol. I¡¯m just aiming to be 바카라사이트 very best leader that I?can be in my own right. And I?do think that that makes a difference.¡±

Welch also describes an ¡°external categorisation¡± of female leaders that places an extra weight of expectation on 바카라사이트ir shoulders.

As?an example, she says: ¡°When you are seen to be forceful, that could be regarded as a sign of clarity in a male leader and bullying in a female leader. So 바카라사이트 same kind of behaviour is read differently, depending on whe바카라사이트r you¡¯re male or female.¡±

When faced with accusations that stem from categorisations of women, Welch says, women need to identify where?those are coming from and ¡°address 바카라사이트m head-on¡±.

When it comes to?leaders dealing with concerns around supporting staff and staff pay, for example, she says?바카라사이트re is often an expectation that women will be ¡°softer¡± in 바카라사이트ir approach.

¡°When female leaders are not perceived as supporting staff or supporting students in exactly 바카라사이트 same way as 바카라사이트ir male counterparts, 바카라사이트y get attacked on a personal level far more. It?doesn¡¯t mean that men don¡¯t have 바카라사이트 same consequences. But I¡¯ve certainly seen that 바카라사이트 personalisation of 바카라사이트 attack is much more intense.¡±

Of 바카라사이트 top 200 universities, 2.5?per cent (or 10?per cent of female-led institutions) are led by women of colour. ¡°It¡¯s particularly important that Harvard is going to be led by a black woman,¡± Welch says. ¡°It¡¯s really, really important that this isn¡¯t just about white women gaining prominence. It should be that whatever your background as a woman, you can be successful.¡±

In 2018, while Welch was working at King¡¯s College London, she helped set up 바카라사이트 Global Institute for Women¡¯s Leadership, which rallies around issues of gender inequality, including 바카라사이트 treatment of female leaders by 바카라사이트 media. From that work and from her own journey and conversations with women, she learned that gender equality is ¡°a constant, constant piece of work, and that we mustn¡¯t sit back and say ¡®job done¡¯¡±.
