What does it mean to be pedagogical in a post-truth landscape? How might feminist thought and action work to intervene in this environment? Gender in an Era of Post-truth Populism draws together leading feminist scholars of gender and education to explore the current significance of the rise of populist policies and discourses and the challenges it poses to the hard-won battles regarding the rights of women, immigrants, and minorities. Offering the first detailed feminist intervention in this space, the collection explores the significance of populism for feminist pedagogies and practices in relation to gender and education. This exploration has significance for broader and urgent questions of our times regarding knowledge, authority, truth, power and harm and considers the potential for feminist interventions in relation to pedagogies and activisms to speak back and disrupt populist agendas.

The chapters build on the authors' previous work in science education, developing models of science identity (Sci-ID) and women’s engagement with the study of science and their aspirations for a science-based career.

In this collection, both individually and collectively, the authors explore the gendering of women’s experiences in academia through the lens of narratives of lived experience. This is a cogent theme throughout the book, reflecting on women’s experiences as intersectional—always raced, classed, gendered, nuanced and complex. Jointly, the chapters provide important insights into individual and collective contemporary women’s experiences in academia from international perspectives, such as gender equity, barriers to success, and achievement. This comprehensive volume provides a reference point for all women and their colleagues working in universities and colleges across the world.

This book provides theoretically informed personal narratives of fifteen ‘Academic Mothers’ working in universities in various countries. The narratives of these mothers focus on their professional experiences and how these are influenced by their identity/role as mothers. This book is an invaluable resource for other academic mothers as they may find the narratives could help them negotiate their own conflicts and challenges through the life stories from across the world captured in this book. The international narratives highlight the commonalities and differences in the struggles experienced by academic mothers with their unique contexts. This book contributes to our collective understanding of the challenges experienced by academic mothers in their professional contexts owing to motherhood as they navigate their way through the ever-increasing demands of the higher education contexts.
Women, 'Failure' and Academia
Activism, Creativity and Critique in the Contemporary University
Inbunden, Engelska, 2026

This open access book examines failures in contemporary academia, and especially the intersections between gender and academic failure. It argues that academic failure is political, and that seemingly personal failures to achieve a standard or expected academic career (tenure, funding, publications, etc.) should be understood in the context of institutional failures and systemic inequalities. Through theoretical discussions and/or personal reflections on their individual experiences of failure, contributors to the volume address how academic failure can illuminate, and sometimes subvert, the institutional barriers often faced by women and women-identifying scholars in the contemporary university.The collection is interdisciplinary, intersectional and international and covers topics such as Covid-19, precarity and job hunting, ethnic diversity, accounts of incomplete research, motherhood and disability within the academy. Contributors include established and emerging scholars in Australia, New Zealand, Spain, the UK and the USA. Conceived as scholarly activism, Women, 'Failure' and Academia aims to interrogate the future of universities and challenge perceptions of failure, especially with regard to women and women-identifying academics.The ebook editions of this book are available open access under a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 licence on bloomsburycollections.com.

Gender, Race, Inequality and Student Friendship in Higher Education
A Terrain of Struggle

With a qualitative case study of two university campuses in the United States, Ingrid E. Castro examines experiences of students in forming and sustaining close interracial friendships.The data in this book are comprised of interviews with students conducted at two primarily white institutions in the early 2000s, illuminating how women of various races struggled to find commonality across difference, particularly in relation to racism, white privilege, and experiences with stereotyping, everyday racism, and segregation on campuses. Taking a feminist approach attending to gender, race and class inequality, Castro contributes auto-ethnographic recollections of her experiences as a multiethnic Latina college student in the early 1990s. She then analyses Xennial women's experiences with the benefit of contemporary frameworks and theories on gendered friendships, parental protectionism, campus climate and race relations, and explores the social and academic spaces of campus, which include interest groups, classrooms, majors, and dorms, as sites of interaction. The conclusion reflects on the ideology of meritocracy and current DEI efforts on campuses in the U.S., suggesting institutional and policy changes to better campus climate and increase the potential for interracial friendship formation for students. A rich, honest and detailed account of relationships emerges with significant implications for the field of friendship studies and the sociology of higher education.Gender, Race, Inequality and Student Friendship in Higher Education is essential reading for those interested in how universities must move forward in addressing gender, race, and class relations on university campuses.
