Abstract

Guided by positioning and affordance theories, this qualitative study explored female faculty’s perceptions of their roles and responsibilities in male-dominated fields. With detailed narratives of five early-career female faculty’s teaching experiences, the study analyzed their positionings in the workplace and understood their educator identity development. This study contributes to the recruitment and retention of female faculty in the masculine fields and ways to support early-career female faculty to develop their career sustainably.
