Gender And Work: An Analysis Of Mid-Level Women Administrators In Student Affairs, Eboni Turnbow
Wayne State University Dissertations
Research has examined the experiences of women faculty in higher education.

Drawing on the theoretical framework of gendered work organizations, this study explores the experiences of women working in non-academic departments, and analyzes how these experiences impact their career advancement at four-year public universities.

Boys' Masculinities In Three Adventure Physical Education Classes, Amy Tischler
Wayne State University Dissertations
The diminished state of youth health in the United States has been a rising concern over the past few decades (Fahlman, Dake, McCaughtry, & Martin, 2008; Krebs, Baker, & Greer, 2003).

In fact, physical education might empower students to be physically …
