Abstract

This chapter addresses the ups and downs of being a female academic studying and living out gender within the information technology field within the United States. We reflect on our careers in terms of publishing, leadership and service by looking at issues faced and suggestions for others from the lessons we learned. One lesson is the importance of intentionality - within the research design and publication process (e.g., journal and editorial team selection) as well as in leadership and service (e.g., paying it forward by serving as a mentor to junior colleagues). There are always trade offs, and understanding those tradeoffs helps the decision-making process. Another lesson is perseverance – what doesn’t kill us makes us/the paper/the journal stronger. Finally, as we look over our academic careers we see that community is truly the key to success.
