Women in Behavior Science is a unique text that showcases the perspectives, stories, and lessons of notable female behavior scientists at all stages of their careers, with relevance for the field's many women pursuing careers in academia today.
With the insights of esteemed female behavior scientists from diverse backgrounds, the book brings together their challenges and successes to include their own distinct perspectives on their professional and personal development. The book is divided into three sections to reflect the different phases of the academic lifespan - graduate school, job search and retirement. Each section covers a wide range of topics such as expanding one's work in new and diverse areas
deciding when and how to make transitions
making something out of nothing or very little
navigating relationships with family, children, and life partners both inside and outside of academy
values-based living
how to thrive in competitive environments
and building values-consistent repertoires in settings that may be gender-marginalizing. Presenting a behind-the-scenes view of academia, the authors also provide open and vulnerable narratives about their psychological and socio-cultural experiences, their stories of marginalization, their difficulties with mental and physical health challenges, grief and loss, and caring for others with chronic health conditions.
Reframing the cultural-level recognition of female behavior scientists today, this book is essential reading for graduate and postgraduate students of Behavioral Science courses focusing on diversity and cultural issues and those who aim to learn about practical skills on the ground. It is also a must read for professionals interested in understanding the experiences of diverse groups in this field.
