Conclusion and Epilogue.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. .Palgrave Studies in Gender and Education,2524-6445Gender identity in educationSociologyHigher educationEducational sociologyEducational sociology Education and sociologyCareer educationGender and Educationhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/O45000Gender Studieshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X35000Higher Educationhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/O36000Sociology of Educationhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/O29000Sociology of Educationhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X22070Career Skillshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/O53020Gender identity in education.Sociology.Higher education.Educational sociology.Educational sociology .Education and sociology.Career education.Gender and Education.Gender Studies.Higher Education.Sociology of Education.Sociology of Education.Career Skills.376.6509436Lipton Brionyauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut860156MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910410009503321Academic Women in Neoliberal Times1919248UNINA
