PALGRAVE STUDIES IN GENDER AND EDUCATION BEIN...

This book highlights the experiences of feminist early career researchers and teachers from an
international perspective in an increasingly neoliberal academy. It offers a new angle on a
significant and increasingly important discussion on the ethos of higher education and the
sector's place in society. Higher education is fast-changing  increasingly market-driven  and
precarious. In this context entering the academy as an early career academic presents both
challenges and opportunities. Early career academics frequently face the prospect of working on
fixed term contracts  with little security and no certain prospect of advancement  while
constantly looking for the next role. Being a feminist academic adds a further layer of
complexity: the ethos of the marketising university where students are increasingly viewed as
'customers' may sit uneasily with a politics of equality for all. Feminist values and practice
can provide a means of working through thechallenges  but may also bring complications.
