We Only Talk Feminist Here

Drawing upon interviews and conversations with feminist academics as well as the authors’ own individual and shared experiences, this book sets out a contemporary account of what it might mean to “only talk feminist” in contemporary university settings and demonstrates the performative and discursive moves feminist academics make to fight for and flee to feminist spaces in the newly corporatized and commercialized neoliberal university.
