Revisiting “Sticky Floor and Glass Ceilings”: A Commentary on Navigating Gender in Higher Education

Abstract

This commentary revisits Dahlvig and Longman's (2020) "Addressing Glass Ceilings and Sticky Floors" to update the global status of women's leadership in higher education. Additionally, the authors advocate for expanding the inclusive leadership conversation beyond the historic male/female binary. Institutional barriers persist that hinder minoritized leadership, therefore using intersectionality and an inclusive view of gender in framing current problems and solutions will benefit the path forward.
