Routledge - Lived Experiences of Women in Academia Book

Lived Experiences of Women in Academia by Routledge offers a deep look into the lives of women working across various disciplines, backgrounds, and countries. This collection brings together meaningful stories to reveal the complex dimensions of life and work within the academic world. Instead of traditional academic structures, the chapters use personal and aesthetic techniques to share these perspectives. Readers will encounter content shaped by metaphor, manifesto, and memoir. These reflections draw inspiration from diverse sources such as textiles, online blogs, forums, theatre, creative writing, fiction, and popular culture. This book explores essential themes including gender roles, family-making, and work-life balance. It provides a unique way to understand the personal realities of women in higher education through a variety of responsive writing styles. It is an important resource for those studying the social sciences, anthropology, and the lived realities of academic professionals.
