Purpose: This research sought to determine if the gendered discourse on community college leadership has changed since Amey and Twombly published their analysis of community college literature in 1992. Argument: More women now lead 2-year colleges than ever before, and conceptions of leadership have evolved over time; but has the language used to discuss gender and leadership in leading community college journals changed as well? This research entailed a discourse analysis of 148 journal articles published between 1990 and 2015 to identify gendered language in literature focusing on community college leadership. The language used in the scholarly examination of leadership is a reflection of the ground realities of the community college setting and provides insight into the persisting gendered constructions of leadership at 2-year colleges. Conclusion: Four main findings emerged from this research. First, masculine-normed leadership approaches remain unquestioned in the literature. Second, participatory leadership rhetoric emerged as a trend at the turn of the century. Third, women do the bulk of the writing about women leaders. Finally, ideal worker norms still prevail. The roots of authoritative leadership retain a strong hold in community colleges and intentional actions are required to achieve real change in constructions of leadership.

重新定义社区大学领导力发生了什么变化？25 年回顾

目的：本研究试图确定自 1992 年艾米和托姆布雷发表对社区大学文献的分析以来，关于社区大学领导力的性别话语是否发生了变化。 论点：现在领导 2 年制大学的女性比以往任何时候都多，领导力的概念也发生了变化。随着时间的推移而进化；但主要社区大学期刊中用于讨论性别和领导力的语言是否也发生了变化？这项研究需要对 1990 年至 2015 年间发表的 148 篇期刊文章进行话语分析，以确定以社区大学领导力为重点的文献中的性别语言。领导力学术考试中使用的语言反映了社区大学环境的基本现实，并提供了对两年制大学领导力持续性别化建设的洞察。结论：这项研究得出了四个主要发现。首先，男性化的领导方法在文献中仍然是毋庸置疑的。其次，参与式领导修辞在世纪之交成为一种趋势。第三，女性撰写了大量关于女性领导者的文章。最后，理想的工人规范仍然盛行。权威领导的根源在社区大学中占有重要地位，需要有意识的行动才能实现领导建设的真正改变。
