Dr Theano Lianidou, Associate Dean – Research and Professional Engagement, presented her paper “Case studies with female protagonists: “Hidden” inequalities in the hidden curriculum” at the 40th European Group for Organizational Studies (EGOS) Colloquium in Milan recently.
In this paper, Dr Lianidou and her co-authors Professor Wasti of the Middle East Technical University and Dr Dominick of the Stevens Institute of Technology, discuss their analysis of case studies portraying female leaders.
Here’s a section from the abstract:

An effort to address inequality can be case studies portraying female leaders, which can help address the persistent gender inequality in leadership and can have a positive impact on inequality reduction through inspiring women to pursue leadership roles and altering the cognitive schemata of “think leader, think male“.
