Feminism in higher education goes beyond mere institutional integration and diversity audits. It involves actively engaging with and challenging neoliberal policies, advocating for nuanced intersectional feminist analysis and action. This book revisits established feminist strategies for carving out academic space, reimagining how feminists navigate the university, and confronting institutional shortcomings. The authors argue that the academic career course holds paramount importance in understanding the complexities of feminist educational journeys, collaborations, cares, and ways of knowing. They highlight how these experiences reshape academic hierarchies, foster collective feminist successes, and politicize failures. By prioritizing interruptions, the book navigates through feminist methodologies such as researcher reflexivity, autoethnography, and collective biography, ultimately leading to a transformation from feminist identity to feminist practice. It emphasizes the potential of queer feminist interruptions to disrupt the university and ourselves.
