_Queer Precarity in Higher Education_ looks at queer scholars pushing
against institutional structures, and the queer knowledge that gets
pushed out by universities. It provides insight into the work of, in
and beyond academia as it is un-done in the contemporary (post)Covid
moment, not least by queer academic-activists.
This radical un-doing represents cycles of queer precarity, pragmatism
and participation both situating and questioning the 'queer arrival'
of institutionalized programmes and presences (e.g. queer and gender
studies degrees, prominent and public feminist academics). In this
book, the contributors push back against contemporary educational
precarity, mobilizing queer insight and insistence; and push back
against confinement of the University, socially and spatially. The
collection brings together academic-activist perspectives to extend
understandings of experiences of marginalization and inequality in
higher education. It also documents the diversity of tactics with
which queers negotiate and resist the various, shifting and
interconnected forms of precarity and privilege found on the edges of
academia.
Contributors consider these issues from inside/outside academia and
across career course, challenging the 'queer arrival' as emanating
outward from the university to the community, from the academic to the
activist, or from a state of privilege to a place of precarity.
