Zusatztext A comprehensive overview of the wide-ranging experiences of women in academia. It includes viewpoints that to date have been too often silenced, and so presents refreshing accounts of different women’s experiences in academia employing an intersectional lens from all over the globe. Whilst similar barriers and difficulties are documented and charted, unexpected spaces of solidarity and resistances to patriarchy are also documented. This book helps to create a dialogue around an inclusive academia, that aims to reclaim academia for those that do not fit into stereotypical image of a white, middle-aged professor.
