This article provides a good introduction to the bifocal approach.  Written during Jen's 2011 Postdoctoral Fellowship in Sweden, it places her work within the Swedish context.

This is an unpublished review of literature pertaining to women only programs across the Australian higher education sector.

Recent research increasingly points to organisational culture (Chesterman et al.2004; Palermo 2004) as the main stumbling block for women. This paper moves beyond taking a 'fix the women' approach to leadership development and explores ways in which it is possible to achieve a ‘dual agenda’, where a women’s leadership development program can benefit individual women while challenging the organisation. A ‘dual agenda’ program engages the organisation and the women in an organisational change process.

This publication was compiled for the Tenth Anniversary of the Leadership Development for Women Programme at UWA. It celebrates, documents and evaluates the program, using historical documents, interview, focus groups and survey data. Grounded within the research literature of the time, it grapples with the question of cultural change. Can the program claim, as the Vice-Chancellor suggests, that LDW is a transformational programme? 

This publication includes and extends the data gathered for the 1998 publication Creating Opportunities: An Evaluation of the Leadership Development for Women Programme 1994–1997.

This publication was a landmark document in providing qualitative and quantitative data on the first three years of LDW. Tracking the women who had participated in the program and comparing their retention and promotion data with women who did not participate and with men, highlighted some outstanding results for academic and professional staff participants.
