Queer Precarity in Higher Education looks at queer scholars pushing
against institutional structures, and the queer knowledge that gets
pushed out by universities. It provides insight into the work of,
in and beyond academia as it is un-done in the contemporary
(post)Covid moment, not least by queer academic-activists. This
radical un-doing represents cycles of queer precarity, pragmatism
and participation both situating and questioning the 'queer
arrival' of institutionalized programmes and presences (e.g. queer
and gender studies degrees, prominent and public feminist
academics). In this book, the contributors push back against
contemporary educational precarity, mobilizing queer insight and
insistence; and push back against confinement of the University,
socially and spatially. The collection brings together
academic-activist perspectives to extend understandings of
experiences of marginalization and inequality in higher education.
It also documents the diversity of tactics with which queers
negotiate and resist the various, shifting and interconnected forms
of precarity and privilege found on the edges of academia.
Contributors consider these issues from inside/outside academia and
across career course, challenging the 'queer arrival' as emanating
outward from the university to the community, from the academic to
the activist, or from a state of privilege to a place of precarity.
