Introduction

Abstract

Expanded notions of gender, in context and social construction, continue to challenge popular beliefs that there is no longer a “woman problem” in higher education. Importantly, narrow views of issues facing only White cisgender women ignore the complexity of current gender systems. Problematizing the role of gender in institutions of higher education shows how long standing structures support and reinforce gender stereotypes and work place norms in ways that disadvantage some and promote others. Discussing gender in inclusive ways recognizes that current gender systems are complex and that each of those working in college settings has a part to play in better understanding and reforming those systems.
