The VCU School of Education's Dr. Maike Philipsen, professor and department chair in the Department of Foundations of Education, is featured in an article in the October 6, 2020 issue of The New York Times on how the pandemic has become a new setback for women in academia who already faced obstacles on the path to advancing their research and careers.

The article – "The Virus Moved Female Faculty to the Brink. Will Universities Help?" – features multiple quotes from Dr. Philipsen, including the one below.

“Not only is the pandemic not going anywhere, but work-life integration was the barrier for women’s success even before Covid-19,” Dr. Philipsen said. “And if there ever is an era of after Covid-19, work-life integration will continue to be a barrier to women’s success unless we begin transformative change.”
