foster and engender change

foster and engender change


The present paper attempts to examine this phenomenon of women‟s collective in the academia to understand how collaborative efforts by women in the higher education system has been able to foster and engender change and how a rare sisterhood and bonding has broken invisible barriers erected by the erstwhile intellectually self-centred ambitions of the academic community to streng then women‟s resources and in turn to pave the path for an egalitarian and gender friendly higher education system. The paper interrogates/examines/analyses dichotomies inherent in the genesis and practice of such a fostered community, which has its roots in the existing system of governance, which may derive qualities of the same and/or replicate similar structures reconstituting power hierarchies and its pitfalls thereof.
