The book's unique focus on the connection between gender and the status of a particular academic department challenges organizational theorists and higher education specialists to reconsider their traditional analysis of academic departments. By incorporating gender in the analysis, Nerad reveals the process by which departments traditionally dominated by women, including education, library science, nursing, social welfare, and home economics, begin as separate (and unequal) programs and are subsequently eliminated (or sustained without economic rewards, prestige, and power) when administrators no longer regard them as useful.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52092610806048,"sku":"NEW0791439704","price":38.83,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/the-academic-kitchen-a-social-history-of-gender-stratification-at-the-university-of-california-berkeley-suny-series-frontiers-in-education-0791439704","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
