8. Narratives of Intersectional Identities: Women Leaders in U.S. Higher Education Settings

Author

Murphy, Jennifer C and Murphy, Jennifer C

Abstract

There is a noticeable gap in the literature on women leaders, their intersectional identities, and their implications and impact to academia. Research in this area of leadership has primarily focused on topics such as gender-based discrimination and barriers faced by women in the workplace. This study focuses on the interplay of individual, structural, and institutional (Crenshaw, 2017, 2019) structures, which are centralized and explored with participants in this study; this framework guides the narratives shared herein. It explored women’s lived experiences—as told in their own words—to better understand how their intersectional identities contributed to their leadership roles in academia. Multiple aspects of social identity—including race, social class, religion, and sexual identity—shaped women’s experiences related to marginalization and oppression in the workplace. Garnering a demographically wider, more in-depth analysis of these women’s experiences cultivated a better understanding of how gender-based norms and social constructions shift over time and the extent to which (and how) they create a diffusion effect over time as new generations enter the workplace. These leaders’ embodied experiences were carefully examined through a critical intersectional feminist lens to explore layers of oppression and marginalization in their roles as leaders. Through a qualitative, narrative research design, phenomena were explored through intact broader structures and systems as women leaders narrated their lived experiences. This approach illuminated participants’ lived experiences, self-narratives, and perspectives on emergent themes of barriers, obstacles, culture, power dynamics, and their own motivations to succeed.

25. Declining suspended sediment in United States rivers and streams: Linking sediment trends to changes in land use/cover, hydrology and climate.

Author

Murphy, Jennifer C.

Abstract

Between 1992 and 2012, concentrations of annual mean suspended sediment decreased at over half (58 %) of the 137 stream sites assessed across the contiguous United States (US). Increases occurred at 17 % of the sites and the direction of change was uncertain at the remaining 25 %. Sediment trends were characterized using the Weighted Regressions on Time, Discharge, and Season model, and decreases in sediment ranged from −95 % to −8.5 % of the 1992 concentration. To explore potential drivers of these changes, the sediment trends were (1) parsed into two broad contributors of change, changes in land management versus changes in the streamflow regime, and (2) grouped by land use of the watershed and correlated to concurrent changes in land use/cover, hydrology and climate and static/long-term watershed characteristics. At 83 % of the sites, changes in land management (captured by changes in the concentration–streamflow relationship over time) contributed more to the change in the sediment trend than changes in the streamflow regime alone (i.e. any systematic change in the magnitude, frequency or timing of flows). However, at > 60 % of the sites, changes in the streamflow regime contributed at least a 5 % change in sediment and at 10 sites changes in the streamflow regime contributed over half the change in sediment, indicating that at many sites changes in streamflow were not the main driver of changes in sediment but was often an important supporting factor. Correlations between sediment trends and concurrent changes in land use/cover, hydrology and climate were often stronger at sites draining watersheds with more homogenous, human-related land uses (i.e. agricultural and urban lands) compared to mixed-use or undeveloped lands. At many sites, decreases in sediment occurred despite small to moderate increases in the amount of urban or agricultural land in the watershed, suggesting conservation efforts to reduce sediment runoff to streams may be successful, up to a point, even as lands are converted to urban and agricultural uses.
