Abstract

Jenny Zorn California State University, San Berrdino Presidential Address delivered to the Association of Pacific Coast Geographers, 69th annual meeting, Eugene, Oregon, September 8, 2006 As I contemplated how to focus my comments this evening, I reflected on how my predecessors have approached their presentations. Some of the APCG presidents and their presentations were larger than life. Some of their presentations were more persol reflections on their lives as geographers, others were thoughtful on their research careers and the directions they went and were going in their research, and some used their expertise to develop a separate research piece or archival exploration of the organization. It became evident that I could do whatever I wanted. Hence, I've approached this with a little bit of inspiration from many of the previous presidents. My earlier research focused on women in the paid labor force. So I plan to take a look at where we are today in terms of the status of women in the paid labor force, how higher education looks in terms of gender, and my persol experience that brings me to my perspective on the role of women in higher education today.
