Linda,
Tracy Anne Loefler, who now works in the School of Kinesiology at the Memorial
University of Newfoundland, did her dissertation (about 1994) at the University
of Minnesota on this exact topic. I believe she was exploring the reasons for
the differences in the number of male and female higher level administrators in
the Outdoor Adventure Education profession.
Hope this is of some help and that you are able to obtain a copy of this work
somehow.
Good luck,
Mac.
