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, hailing from diverse countries such as Australia, Canada, Ghana, Finland, India, Norway, South Africa, the United Kingdom, the United States, and transnational engagements with Bolivia, Iran, Nepal, and Taiwan, document their experiences within and beyond academia. In a world where 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, influenced by 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 displayed in the face of severe precarities.

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 narratives, the authors shed light on the complexities and challenges faced by feminist scholars in a globalized world, while also offering insights into the transformative potential of autoethnography in unraveling the experiences and perspectives of marginalized communities.

Global Feminist Autoethnographies is a valuable resource for academics, activists, and anyone seeking to understand the multifaceted impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on academia and society. It provides a poignant glimpse into the experiences of feminist scholars and their commitment to resilience, solidarity, and decolonization in the face of adversity.
