This book explores what it means to 'only talk feminist here' in
the contemporary neoliberal university. How do feminist academics
effect change? How are feminist voices sounded, heard, received,
silenced, and masked? We Only Talk Feminist Here offers insight
into the complexities, contradictions, and possibilities of
'talking feminist'; of writing as speaking, problematising notions
of voice and agency, of speaking into the silences and the ways in
which we fight for and flee to feminist spaces, and of talking
back. This book presents new possibilities for framing 'talking
feminist' differently, by exploring what we say, when we say it,
how we say it, and what it means when we do any of these things in
terms of our multiple and shifting feminist subjectivities. We Only
Talk Feminist Here draws upon interviews and conversations with
feminist academics in Australia to demonstrate the performative and
discursive moves feminist academics make in order to be heard and
effect change to the gendered status quo in Australian higher
education.
This book investigates the gendered dimensions of academic life in
the contemporary Australian university. It examines key discourses
- most notably academic performativity and identity - through a
feminist lens, and scrutinises how discourses of neoliberalism and
feminism are entangled in the structure, systems, operations and
cultures of the university. Drawing on in-depth qualitative
interviews with academic women in Australia, the author uses a mix
of experimental methods to emphasise the performative and
discursive decisions women make with regard to their academic
careers. In doing so, this book reveals how women themselves
generate neoliberal and feminist shifts, how they manage the
contradictions they produce, and how they carve spaces of influence
and authority. Moving towards a re-evaluation of existing
discourses, this book offers new insights into gender inequality in
the Australian university in neoliberal times.
