It only  takes a quick look at the informational materials from the  Ministry of Education about graduate education  in Colombia to see that more attention needs to be paid to the role of gender in the Colombian academy.Only in one table is geneder even mentioned.Not only this , but the images that  dominate the documents are heavily masculinized .All but  one of the many images associated  with educational attainment  in Colombia are of Westernized men: their body language is stereotypically masculine, whit crossed arms, assertive postures, and they wear business suits and ties and carry briefcases.
