CIRGE Charts Work\/Family Paths of Female PhDs\"\"<\/a><\/h4>\n

Evidence from the survey, PhDs\u2014Ten Years Later, suggests that gender equality in the career paths of PhD recipients is still hampered by conflicts between family lives and career structures.<\/p>\n

Widening the Lens on Gender and Tenure<\/h4>\n

This study asks the question, if women are now receiving doctoral degrees in relatively equal numbers to men, can we anticipate nearly equal tenure achievement in the next decade?\u00a0 It uses data from the PhDs \u2013 Ten Years Later national survey to show that in fields where there are strong non-academic labor markets, women have equal chances of getting tenure to their male counterparts.\u00a0 However, in fields where most PhDs work in academia, men have better chances of tenure than women.<\/p>\n

Changing Landscape of Work and Family in the American Middle Class: Reports from the Field<\/h4>\n

\u201cIn this beautifully rendered collection, we peer through so many different windows of American family life. Rural North Dakota parents reverently passing on farm values, if not the farm itself, to their children. Silicon Valley hi-tech family workers share long hours and high hopes in their electronic cottage. Affluent corporate executives and their stay-at-home wives still can\u2019t control influences beyond the gates to their communities. Refugees from corporate life set up a small town pie shop hoping to find a better way to mix work and family life. The superb studies gathered here reflect the many ways families are trying to build the American Dream on an ever more eroded and shifting landscape.\u201d\u2014Arlie Hochschild, author of The Time Bind: The Commercialization of Intimate Life.<\/p>\n

Social Science PhDs\u2014Five+ Years Out: Spotlight on Doctoral Education #1: Finally Equal Footing for Women?<\/h4>\n

This\u00a0CIRGE Spotlight<\/em>\u00a0focuses on the potential for gender equality in careers of social science doctorate holders using findings from\u00a0Social Science PhDs\u2013Five+ Years Out<\/em>, CIRGE\u2019s national study of recent graduates in six fields. We find surprising equality in early careers of men and women: men and women are equally likely to begin careers in a tenure-track position and equally likely to ever be on tenure track at Research Institutions. Yet we find that this equality of beginnings is unlikely to last over the course of these cohorts\u2019 careers.\u00a0 Further, women seem to be \u201csubsidizing\u201d equality in PhD careers by paying higher personal costs than men do.<\/p>\n
