ABSTRACT
This chapter asks two deceptively simple questions: How can we best conceptualize the situation of women academics in British universities? How can we change it? Having spent my working life as a woman academic and sociologist of education and gender, I have strong personal and intellectual interests in these questions. For nineteen years I taught in a British university. My move to Canada was in part a search for a more nourishing environment for women, for feminists and for women’s studies scholars.
