变化从来都不是线性的、包罗万象的，也不一定是向前发展的。在这篇文章中，我探讨的步伐，前景，并在社会和组织层面的工作，家庭和性别的变化途径。在长期的持续进展之后，实现更大程度的性别平等的步伐已经放缓。这种放缓伴随着关于性别和性别不平等的新文化叙事。这些叙述也渗透到组织中，这些组织有自己的变化动力。近年来，作为国家科学基金会先进倡议的一部分，学院的性别问题再次受到关注。从我自己和其他人的研究中，我探讨了学术领导者对工作，家庭和性别的叙述如何减缓或破坏变革的努力。通过将变革的责任转移到个别教师身上，领导者采取行动的意愿、能力和决心都被削弱了。性别叙事是造成不平等的更广泛的社会和组织做法体系的核心要素。
Change is never linear, all-encompassing, or necessarily forward moving. In this essay, I explore the pace, prospects, and pathways for change in work, family, and gender at the societal and organizational levels. After a lengthy period of sustained progress, movement toward greater gender equality has slowed. This slowing has been accompanied by new cultural narratives about gender and gender inequality. These narratives have also penetrated organizations, which have their own change dynamics. Gender issues in the academy have received renewed attention in recent years as part of the National Science Foundation’s ADVANCE initiative. Drawing from my own and others’ research, I explore how academic leaders’ narratives about work, family, and gender can slow or undermine change efforts. By deflecting responsibility for change to individual faculty, leaders’ willingness, capacity, and resolve to act are weakened. Gender narratives are a central ingredient in the broader system of societal and organizational practices that reproduce inequality.
