Women Activating Agency in Academia seeks to create and expand safe
spaces for scholarly, professional and personal stories and
assemblages of agency. It provides readers with the opportunity to
connect with the strategies women are using to navigate academe and
the core values, linked to trust, relationship, wellbeing and
ethics of care, they live by. The collection offers the stories of
women academics from around the globe and across disciplines and
showcases their efforts to meaningfully listen and converse in
order to resist self-audit and diminished identities. Reflections
come from a range of responsive, personal and aesthetic techniques,
including writing groups, guided autobiography, auto-ethnography,
collective activism and slow scholarship. Chapters engage with
themes and ideas such as agency, neoliberalism, ontological
security, androcentricity, identity and collegial support, which
manifest in unique ways for female academics. The focus in this
volume is what really matters to women in the academy, as they
share their efforts to 'be' themselves in their work, to 'care for
themselves and others' and to 'count what isn't counted'. It aims
to prove how collaborative storytelling and discussion can empower
female academics to preserve and achieve these ambitions.
