\u201cIf A Woman Came In \u2026 She Would Have Been Eaten Up Alive\u201d: Analyzing Gendered Political Processes in the Search for an Athletic Director \u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Why I read it:<\/strong> Because I had research our first women’s athletics director ( at\u00a0Santa Clara University) and we are finding articles now for our final paper, due in a few weeks<\/p>\n

What it was:<\/strong> A case study to research and determine the role of gendered politics in the process of hiring an athletic director when female and male intercollegiate athletic departments merge. The authors explore a specific merger and the actions taken by the female booster group in support of women\u2019s athletics and the equivalent male group.<\/p>\n

What I hoped for:<\/strong> A more comprehensive view of the subject and statistics related to the\u00a0politics in hiring athletic directors<\/p>\n

What was helpful :<\/strong>\u00a0Just the process of researching made me aware that there is actually a lot of academic conversation about sports management so I could analyze that specifically in my research if that is the specific direction I want to go.<\/p>\n

The General: Databases<\/strong><\/h2>\n

It was fascinating to learn that in this context a single case study was considered sufficient evidence to write about. It was a sort of anthropological approach to the subject through ethnographic<\/a> study of individuals. However, these authors \u00a0do not have any anthropological background as indicated by their miniature bios at the end of the article. Additionally, they have not been involved in women and\u00a0gender studies, but they still were able to take on gender discrimination\u00a0 through their discipline. Suffice it to say this article was eye-opening in that you never now what people have written about. Any interdisciplinary connections can draw minds from one field to explore another through a different lens. This isa part of why databases are so chalked full of articles. You never know who will comment and bring something new to the conversation next.\u00a0You never know what is out there in the vast land of a database.<\/p>\n

This\u00a0does not surprise me but rather reminds me that when I research, there is always another way of looking at the topic that I have not yet discovered. I encourage you to look up a few keywords with a topic in mind and see how many disciplines have published articles on the topic.<\/p>\n
