Kate Mamiseishvili's Research Featured in Chronicle of Higher Education
Posted on 4/28/2009
A report April 21 in the online edition of the Chronicle of Higher Education described research by Ketevan “Kate” Mamiseishvili, an assistant professor of higher education leadership at the University of Arkansas.
Mamiseishvili presented a paper titled “International and Citizen Women Faculty Productivity at Research Universities in the United States” at the annual conference of the American Educational Research Association earlier this month in San Diego.
According to the Chronicle article, Mamiseishvili found that the foreign women she studied were substantially less productive than the American counterparts in terms of the time they spent teaching and working with students. They were substantially more productive, however, when it came to research, as measured by their publication records and the numbers of presentations or exhibitions they had given over the previous two years. The article can be read at http://chronicle.com/daily/2009/04/16093n.htm.
Mamiseishvili joined the faculty of the College of Education and Health Professions in August 2008. She earned her doctoral and master’s degrees from the University of Missouri and her bachelor’s degree from Kutaisi State University in the Republic of Georgia.
