This book employs an an intersectional feminist approach to highlight how research and teaching
agendas are being skewed by commercialized corporatized and commodified values and assumptions
implicit in the neoliberalization of the academy. The authors combine 50 years of academic
experience and focus on species gender and class as they document the hazardous consequences
of seeing people as instruments and knowledge as a form of capital. Personal-political examples
are provided to illustrate some of the challenges but also opportunities facing activist
scholars trying to resist neoliberalism. Heartfelt frank and unashamedly emotional the book
is a rallying cry for academics to defend their role as public intellectuals to work together
with communities including those most negatively affected by neoliberalism and the
corportatization of knowledge.
