But what are the boundaries of 'proper' knowledge? Who defines them, and how are they changing? How do feminists negotiate them? And how does this boundary-work affect women's and gender studies, and its scholars' and students' lives? These are the questions tackled by this ground-breaking ethnography of academia inspired by feminist epistemology, Foucault, and science and technology studies. Drawing on data collected over a decade in Portugal and the UK, US and Scandinavia, this title explores different spaces of academic work and sociability, considering both official discourse and 'corridor talk'. It links epistemic negotiations to the shifting political economy of academic labour, and situates the smallest (but fiercest) departmental negotiations within global relations of unequal academic exchange. 410 0$aTransformations. 606 $aWomen's studies 606 $aWomen college teachers 606 $aWomen college students 606 $aFeminism and education 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aWomen's studies. 615 0$aWomen college teachers. 615 0$aWomen college students. 615 0$aFeminism and education. 676 $a305.4 700 $aPereira$b Maria do Mar.$0913728 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910164032003321 996 $aPower, knowledge and feminist scholarship$92047206 997 $aUNINA
