Abstract

This case study is of a premier central university in India that is characterized by a notable increase in the representation of women at professorial and senior management levels. The focus is on the period 2001–2016 during which there have been three different vice-chancellors and the percentage of women professors increased from 16% (2001) to 30% (2015). This chapter seeks to deconstruct the factors contributing to this increase, including the role of senior university leadership in furthering the gender agenda. The chapter uses secondary data and reflections of a key informant to explore whether this increase in the proportion of senior women reflects a real transformation in the gendered nature of university culture and is a true indicator of gendered change.
