We are delighted to present the inaugural 'Women in Education” series of article collections.
At present, less than 30% of researchers worldwide are women. Long-standing biases, gender stereotypes, and gender-related work-life balance are discouraging girls and women away from scholarship and leadership. An equitable research environment and gender equality are, however, essential to ensure sustainable development in all disciplines. To change traditional mindsets, gender equality must be promoted, stereotypes defeated, and girls and women should be encouraged to pursue academic careers.
Therefore, Frontiers in Education is proud to offer this collection of articles to promote the work of women researchers, educators and professionals, across all disciplines of Educational Leadership.
Female representation and leadership still needs to be improved in key roles in the discipline, and the way in which an equitable education contributes to fairer and less biased academic and professional environments worldwide should be more investigated.
The work collected here highlights the diversity of research performed across the entire breadth of Leadership in Education research and presents advances in theory, experiment, and methodology with applications to compelling problems.
We are also interested in receiving papers focusing on the intersectional aspects of gender identities, and we are therefore happy to invite voices from all cultures, religions, races/ethnicities, and (dis)abilities.
Please note: The articles, whose first or last author is a researcher identifies as a woman, will be considered for this collection.
