This book explores the classroom climate for female graduate teaching assistants and discusses the hostility and devaluation that they experience by their students.
Many studies have been done concerning the classroom climate, particularly in the university setting. It has been found that the classroom climate for women is one that is cold, unreceptive, unwelcoming, and even hostile to women. This chilly reception is endured by female undergraduate students, graduate students, and professors. The author believes that the difficult classroom climate also extends to female graduate teaching assistants/instructors. The author contends that this chilly climate may be chillier and more hostile for them, since graduate teaching assistants/instructors do not have the status associated with a doctoral degree. This concept is the basis for what the author has covered in her investigation of the college classroom.
