Brings together a diverse range of voices of academic women to explore multi-disciplinary gendered experiences and challenges of women working in academia, collectively and individually
In this collection, both individually and collectively, the authors explore the gendering of women’s experiences in academia through the lens of narratives of lived experience. This is a cogent theme throughout the book, reflecting on women’s experiences as intersectional—always raced, classed, gendered, nuanced and complex. Jointly, the chapters provide important insights into individual and collective contemporary women’s experiences in academia from international perspectives, such as gender equity, barriers to success, and achievement. This comprehensive volume provides a reference point for all women and their colleagues working in universities and colleges across the world.
A comprehensive overview of the wide-ranging experiences of women in academia. It includes viewpoints that to date have been too often silenced, and so presents refreshing accounts of different women’s experiences in academia employing an intersectional lens from all over the globe. Whilst similar barriers and difficulties are documented and charted, unexpected spaces of solidarity and resistances to patriarchy are also documented. This book helps to create a dialogue around an inclusive academia, that aims to reclaim academia for those that do not fit into stereotypical image of a white, middle-aged professor. * Rachel Palmén, Open University of Catalonia, Spain *
Academic Women: Voicing Narratives of Gendered Experiences is a powerful resource that encourages us to think about collectives based on feminist assumptions of sorority and sisterhood, giving voice to marginalised experiences and bringing them into a theoretical realm … A reading of this book highlights its potential contribution to a more inclusive and equitable academy * European Journal of Women’s Studies *
