In order to achieve gender equity in the academy, it is necessary to understand how traditional gender roles impact university practices and policies.

Results from recent studies on this topic will be provided. Strategies for successfully navigating the academic culture will be discussed. Ethical responsibilities related to the recruitment and retention of a diverse faculty will be considered. Advocacy activities designed to promote equity in academia will be recommended.
