Identity matters. Who we are in terms of our intersecting
identities such as gender, race, social class, (dis)ability,
geography, and religion are integral to who we are and how we
navigate work and life. Unfortunately, many people have yet to
grasp this understanding and, as a result, so many of our work
spaces lack appropriate responses to what this means. Therefore,
Identity Intersectionalities, Mentoring, and Work?life (Im)
balance: Educators (Re)negotiate the Personal, Professional, and
Political, the most recent installment of the work?life balance
series, uses an intersectional perspective to critically examine
the concept of work?life balance. In an effort to build on the
first book in the series, that focused on professors in educational
leadership preparation programs, the authors here represent
educators across the P?20 pipeline (primary and secondary schools
in addition to higher education). This book is also unique in that
it includes the voices of practitioners, students, and academics
from a variety of related disciplines within the education
profession, enabling the editors to include a diverse group of
educators whose many voices speak to work?life balance in unique
and very personal ways. Contributing authors challenge whether the
concept of work?life balance might be conceived as a privileged
-and even an impractical?endeavor. Yet, the bottom line is,
conceptions of work?life balance are exceptionally complex and vary
widely depending on one's many roles and intersecting identities.
Moreover, this book considers how mentoring is important to
negotiating the politics that come with balancing work and life;
especially, if those intersecting identities are frequently
associated with unsolicited stereotypes that impede upon one's
academic, professional and personal pursuits in life. Finally, the
editors argue that the power to authentically "be ourselves" is not
only important to individual success, but also beneficial to
fostering an institutional culture and climate that is truly
supportive of and responsive to diversity, equity, and justice.
Taken together, the voices in this book are a clarion call for P?12
and higher education professionals and organizations to envision
how identity intersectionalities might become an every?day
understanding, a normalized appreciation, and a customary
commitment that translates into policy and practice.
