For our forthcoming book on women and the museum workplace (Left Coast Press, 2016), Joan Baldwin and I have developed a survey, which is now available in both short and long forms. The survey asks for your input on the gender make-up of your institution's staff and board; your thoughts about gender-based issues in the museum workplace, and your experiences with managing gender bias in your career. This is not meant to be a statistically significant survey. It's a beginning scan, an opportunity to help us see gendered patterns in the museum workplace and understand what's important to men and women. We hope it will help to raise the bar and prevent gender from being an obstacle. Please consider taking one of the surveys and please encourage your colleagues to do so, too. We welcome input from men as well as women. The short survey should take about 30 minutes depending on your desire to answer open-ended questions. The long survey could take as long as an hour, again depending on your desire to answer open-ended questions.
