Educational Development as Pink Collar Labor: Implications and Recommendations
Bernhagen, Lindsay; Gravett, Emily
To Improve the Academy, v36 n1 p9-19 Jan 2017
Against a backdrop of other professional arenas, including higher education, this article examines the field of educational development--who we are (mostly women) and what we do (care, service, and emotional labor)--through the lens of gender. While we suggest that educational development may provide a positive counterexample to the male dominance in other higher education professions, we also argue that the common devaluing of women and their labor, well-documented in other arenas, may contribute to educational developers' "marginal" positions on campuses, our difficulties getting "invited to the table," as well as our challenges in becoming more involved in organizational development efforts. The article concludes with suggestions for how educational developers might take action moving forward.
