The Second Glass Ceiling Impedes Women Entrepreneurs, Douglas A. Bosse, Porcher L. Taylor Iii

Management Faculty Publications

The glass ceiling phenomenon that impedes the advancement of talented women professionals into senior executive roles inside large corporations is widely recognized in society, studied in the management literature, taught in business schools, and tangibly felt by many women executives. Outside the corporate setting, we show that a second glass ceiling exists for women entrepreneurs and women small business owners. This second glass ceiling is a gender bias that obstructs women-owned small firms from accessing the financial capital required to start new firms and fuel the growth of existing firms. This paper (1) defines the second glass ceiling phenomenon, (2) …

Latin American, Latino and Iberian Studies Faculty Publications

"Lo que son las cosas, Mauricio Silva, Ilamado el Ojo, siempre intentó escapar de la violencia aun a riesgo de ser considerado un cobarde, pero de la violencia, de la verdadera violencia, no se puede escapar, al menos no nosotros, los nacidos en Latinoamérica en la década de los cincuenta, los que rondábamos los veinte años cuando murió Salvador Allende (Bolaño, 11)."

La cita que abre este artículo constituye el primer párrafo del cuento de Roberto Bolaño "El Ojo Silva" (en Putas asesinas), que ha sido frecuentemente citado en la incipiente literatura crítica sobre el autor. La repetida atención que …

Textos Del Derrumbe: Horacio Castellanos Moya, Fernando Vallejo, Daniel Guebel, Claudia Ferman

Latin American, Latino and Iberian Studies Faculty Publications

Me propongo aquí referirme a tres novelas que se publicaron entre los años 2001 y 2006, que pertenecen a tres escritores muy distantes entre sí en geografía, experiencia y propuesta literaria. Estos escritores también están separados generacionalmente: Horacio Castellanos Moya (El Salvador, 1957) y Daniel Guebel (Argentina, 1956) y Fernando Vallejo (Colombia, 1942). Estas son Desmoronamiento (2006), de Horacio Castellano Moya; El desbarrancadero (2001) de Fernando Vallejo, y Derrumbe (2007), de Daniel Guebel. Estas novelas de obvias coincidencias en los títulos, pueden pensarse como espacios de representación de la crisis del "sujeto literario moderno", más allá de las diferencias nacionales …

Queer Economies, Ladelle Mcwhorter

Philosophy Faculty Publications

Queer defies categorization and resists preset developmental trajectories. Practices of queering identities emerged near the end of the twentieth century as ways of resisting normalizing networks of power/knowledge. But how effective are queer practices at resisting networks of power/knowledge (including disciplines) that are not primarily normalizing in their functioning? This essay raises that question in light of expanding neoliberal discourses and institutions which, in some quarters at least, themselves undermine normalized identities in favor of a proliferation of personal styles susceptible to governance through market forces. Special attention is given to Security, Territory, Population and The Birth of Biopolitics in …

The Next Fifty Years, Ladelle Mcwhorter

Women, Gender and Sexuality Studies Faculty Publications

Continental philosophy tends to be very textual, defined not so much by a set of problems as by a set of interpretive practices. We read Levinas or Irigaray and write interpretations of those texts. Of course, we do more than issue commentary; we think through texts, grappling with problems, concepts, and historical and cultural phenomena. Still, most of our work remains closely tied to texts. Consequently, it often reproduces a distinction between primary and secondary philosophical work that we might question. Nobody would deny the creativity of John Sallis’ or David Wood’s work or that of Debra Bergoffen or Kelly …

Gender Bias In Employment Contexts: A Closer Examination Of The Role Incongruity Principle, Crystal L. Hoyt

Jepson School of Leadership Studies articles, book chapters and other publications

This research extends the role incongruity analysis of employment-related gender bias by investigating the role of dispositional and situational antecedents, specifically political ideology and the salience of cues to the traditional female gender role. The prediction that conservatives would show an anti-female candidate bias and liberals would show a pro-female bias when the traditional female gender role is salient was tested across three experimental studies. In Study 1, 126 participants evaluated a male or a female job applicant with thoughts of the traditional female gender role activated or not. Results showed that when the gender role is salient, political ideology …
