Produktinformationen zu „Being an Early Career Feminist Academic / Palgrave Studies in Gender and Education (PDF)“
This book highlights the experiences of feminist early career researchers and teachers from an international perspective in an increasingly neoliberal academy. It offers a new angle on a significant and increasingly important discussion on the ethos of higher education and the sector's place in society.
Higher education is fast-changing, increasingly market-driven, and precarious. In this context entering the academy as an early career academic presents both challenges and opportunities. Early career academics frequently face the prospect of working on fixed term contracts, with little security and no certain prospect of advancement, while constantly looking for the next role. Being a feminist academic adds a further layer of complexity: the ethos of the marketising university where students are increasingly viewed as 'customers' may sit uneasily with a politics of equality for all. Feminist values and practice can provide a means of working through thechallenges, but may also bring complications.

Pressezitat
“This timely and important volume confronts that, offering honest and self-reflexive discussions of the material, emotional and affective demands and contradictions which early career academics face. … this book does the vitally important work of articulating the experiences of feminist early career researchers, and as such propels the conversation forward.” (Elizabeth Ablett, Sociology, Vol. 52 (1), 2018)
