Global Feminist Autoethnographies is a powerful testament to the displacements, disruptions, and distress experienced by tenured faculty, faculty on temporary contracts, graduate students, and individuals connected to academia during the COVID-19 pandemic. The authors vividly document their experiences within and beyond academia, gathering narratives from across the globe, including Australia, Canada, Ghana, Finland, India, Norway, South Africa, the United Kingdom, the United States, and transnational engagements with Bolivia, Iran, Nepal, and Taiwan. In a world where the traditional rules governing work and family relations are rapidly evolving, this book reveals that distress and traumas are emerging and deepening across the divides within and between the global North and South, contingent upon the intersecting structures that have impacted each of us. It serves as a poignant documentation of our collective distress and trauma, as well as the resilience and solidarity we have demonstrated in the face of severe precarity.

This book is a collaborative effort, showcasing how we are striving to decolonize our scholarship. It holds immense interest for scholars across various interdisciplinary fields, including intersectionality, gender, family, race, sexuality, migration, and global and transnational sociology. Through their autoethnographic narratives, the authors offer valuable insights into the complexities of our experiences and provide a roadmap for transformative change. Global Feminist Autoethnographies serves as a powerful reminder of our collective resilience and the importance of solidarity in navigating the challenges of our time.
