The contributors discuss the ways in which they respond to these challenges in and out of the classrooms: from mentorship and activism to active allyship, experimental pedagogies, and applying feminist theory. The contributors propose a new wave of feminist consciousness raising, new tools for engaged teaching and activism, new visions of self-care models, slow research and scholarship, unionization, and new advice for leaving tenured or tenure-track positions that serves as doorways to new understandings of productivity and creativity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith intersectional feminist ferocity, this powerful, impassioned collection asks what a university would look like if it actually cared about the marginalized, while it unsparingly displays higher education's race to the bottom by a thousand neoliberal cuts. Foregrounding WOC, LGBTQ+, first-generation, working-class, Jewish, and indigenous voices and experiences, the chapters unflinchingly confront what it means to attempt social justice research and pedagogy amidst literally ceaseless budget \"crises\". Seamlessly weaving the sublimity of our longings for a more just world with a clear-eyed stare at the ridiculous corporate logic that has swamped university functions, this collection is essential reading for students, faculty, administrators, and anybody who cares about higher education. -- Karen Kelsky, Founder and CEO of The Professor Is In\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter One: Lavender Carharts: Queer Work within and outside the Academy\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnne Balay\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter Two: Neoliberalism in Higher Education and its Effects on Marginalized Students\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDejah Carter\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter Three: Promoting Feminist Labor in Academe’s Culture of Compliance\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eApril Lidinsky\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter Four: Neutral Student Grievance Processes in White Supremacist Institutions of Higher Education\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFarhana Loonat\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter Five: Planting Seeds of Trans Inclusion: A Conversation with Meghan Buell of TREES, Inc.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMeghan Buell and Pam Butler\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter Six: Laboring in Line with Our Values: Lessons Learned in the Struggle to Unionize\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSonia De La Cruz, Nini Hayes, and Sonalini Sapra\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter Seven: Feminist Future Making and Nomadic Subjectivity in the Academy\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLauren J.
