Sommario/riassunto

This book investigates the gendered dimensions of academic life in the contemporary Australian university. It examines key discourses – most notably academic performativity and identity – through a feminist lens, and scrutinises how discourses of neoliberalism and feminism are entangled in the structure, systems, operations and cultures of the university. Drawing on in-depth qualitative interviews with academic



women in Australia, the author uses a mix of experimental methods to emphasise the performative and discursive decisions women make with regard to their academic careers. In doing so, this book reveals how women themselves generate neoliberal and feminist shifts, how they manage the contradictions they produce, and how they carve spaces of influence and authority. Moving towards a re-evaluation of existing discourses, this book offers new insights into gender inequality in the Australian university in neoliberal times. .

Sommario/riassunto

Every consulting project has its governance, which is not always explicitly agreed with the client. This book describes the fundamentals of governance in consulting projects and explains the concept and the concrete implementation in practice. It describes the individual elements of consulting governance and illustrates the implementation with practical examples, accompanied by frameworks, reference models, roadmaps and checklists that facilitate the transfer into practice. In addition, the opportunities and risks of consulting governance are presented from the perspective of both the consulting client and the service provider, and the future of international developments of governance consulting are highlighted. The book is aimed at consultants, coaches, trainers and mediators as well as executives and project managers who are responsible for the implementation of consulting projects.
