Educational Leadership at the Intersections of Gender is a bilingual project funded by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada, and co-led by academics (UofA) and the ATA. This research project investigated the effect of factors such as leaves and care taking roles and the impact of gender and intersectionalities on the career progression of women educators. Our data confirmed what we have long suspected, the progression of women through the teaching profession is significantly different than men and reinforced the importance of bringing women to the policymaking process. As the late justice Ruth Baden Ginsburg said, "Women belong in all places where decisions are being made. It shouldn't be that women are the exception." With that in mind, our workshop will be dedicated to both presenting our research findings and to hosting a collaborative dialogue around policy-oriented questions. The Alberta based research is the first step to what we hope becomes a nation wide project, which will improve the live experiences of women as they move through the teaching profession.
