Presentation<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This collection examines failures in modern academia, and especially the intersections between gender and academic failure. It argues that academic failure is political. On the one hand, failure to achieve a \u201cstandard\u201d or expected academic career (tenure, funding, publications, etc.) undermines the status quo of academic systems, at the same time that these seemingly personal failures unveil systemic failures. On the other hand, those of us who are able to stop and celebrate such subversive potentials of failure often enjoy a certain degree of privilege. The collection is interdisciplinary, intersectional and international. It includes topics such as Covid-19, precarity and job hunting, ethnic diversity, accounts of incomplete research and disability within the academy. Conceived as scholarly activism, Women, \u201cFailure\u201d and Academia <\/em>aims to interrogate the future of universities and challenge perceptions of failure, especially with regard to women and women-identifying academics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
