Power and Gender in the “New View” Public Schools

Abstract

“Power over” (involving social control and domination) is contrasted with “power to” (involving social production and collaboration).

Unsettled Moments in Settled Discourse: Women Superintendents’ Experiences of Inequality

“…In fact, in a recent review of literature on women superintendents, Tallerico (1999) conceptualizes research on women in the superintendency in "terms of three interrelated and overlapping domains: profiles, patterns, and practice" (p. 30). Researchers in this domain include but are not limited to Alston (1999); Beekley (1999); Brunner (1999a); Brunner and Schumaker (1998); Chase and Bell (1990); Grogan (1996); Grogan and Henry (1995); Jackson (1999); Kamler and Shakeshaft (1999); Ortiz (1982Ortiz ( , 1999; Ortiz and Ortiz (1993); Scherr (1995); Tallerico, Burstyn, and Poole (1993); and Tallerico and Burstyn (1996). Researchers Bell and Chase (1993); Blount (1998); Glass (1992); and Grady, Ourada-Sieb, and Wesson (1994) are a few included in this domain.…”
