EVENT: Book Launch

The Meaning of Success: Insights from Women at Cambridge, hosted by Professor Sir Leszek Borysiewicz, Vice-Chancellor of the University of Cambridge.

The Meaning of Success profiles 26 women at Cambridge – from world-leading academics, to key administrative staff – and features contributions from another 100.

It seeks to understand how women in academia value success, and concludes that the University of Cambridge, and the higher education sector more generally, would benefit from a wider, more inclusive definition of success; one that benefited women as much as it did men. The current, quite rigid criteria for advancement in universities (an up-to-date publication record, the award of a research grant) make it easier for men to progress than women, the book argues.
