gender - What books, biographies, or survival guides are helpful for men in education in academia?


Men make up the minority of students who receive undergraduate and graduate degrees. As a group men also tend to dropout of school at a greater rate than women. Men are even more in minority status as students in fields like psychology and education.


So, what books, biographies, survival guides, or other resources exist for men who say want to become educators?



Answer



Given that non-academic careers are off-topic here, and StrongBad has already offered an answer for academic careers, I will answer the question of resources for men who want to pursue graduate degrees in female-majority fields.


I would offer the same advice to anyone of any gender who wants to know what it is like to be a member of a gender minority in graduate school: Learn what it's really like by reading about the personal experiences (both positive and negative) of others who have been in that position.


As such, here are a few resources that I believe may be helpful:
