Amy E. Robillard is professor of English at Illinois State University, where she teaches graduate and undergraduate courses in rhetoric, composition, and life writing. She is the author of We Find Ourselves in Other People’s Stories and the editor, with Shane Combs, of How Stories Teach Us: Composition, Life Writing, and Blended Scholarship and, with Ron Fortune, of Authorship Contested: Cultural Challenges to the Authentic, Autonomous Author. Her academic essays have appeared in a number of journals, and her personal essays have appeared on The Rumpus and on Full Grown People.

“This book is a ground-breaking contribution to the English discipline, promising to change the very way in which English faculty members understand the work that we do. Casting bright light from the MeToo Movement directly upon academia—Robillard reveals the insidious ways in which some of the most supposedly ‘enlightened’ spaces, English Departments, often depend upon very disturbing misogynistic cultural practices. She couples meticulous, complex analyses and research with a voice that is simply stunning—always clear, always candid, and always calling the guilty to account. Robillard’s must-read book should be prominently displayed on all English Department’s faculty lounge coffee tables and discussed repeatedly at our faculty meetings. It should also serve as a crucial model for other academic disciplines that desperately need to do similar sorts of self-reflection.”Laura A. Gray-Rosendale, President’s Distinguished Teaching Fellow and Professor of English, Northern Arizona University; Author of College Girl: A Memoir; and Editor of Me Too, Feminist Theory, and Surviving Sexual Violence in the Academy
