Dual-Career report coming soon

Welcome to the Michelle R. Clayman Institute for Gender Research's blog for all things to do with dual-career hiring and retention issues in academia. Over the past two years, we've been working on a large survey-based study of dual-career hiring practices in the US. Over 9,000 faculty from 13 leading research universities responded to our survey. They are spread across the country, from coast to coast, and represent faculty at both public and private institutions.

Who should read our report? Everyone who is interested in the strength and continuing success of the US university sector! It's clear from the demographics that dual-career hiring will be the next great challenge to face our higher education system. If you are a faculty member (or someone who wants to have a professorial career), read our report to learn how individuals tend not to negotiate in their best interests. And if you are a university administrator working on faculty recruitment, retention, or diversity, our report will help you understand where you need to go from here.

Coming in August!
