It shows that instrumental pedagogies impede universitiesâ neoliberal goal of efficiency and that eliminating affect works against success in scholarship.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e[T]his book may be of interest to those who want to learn more about women’s ‘journeys of transition or transgression into academe’, particularly in the Australian context, and to those interested in gender and comparative education studies. * Association for Feminist Anthropology *\u003cbr\u003eThrough a series of methodologically innovative and theoretically insightful chapters, authors take the typically overlooked or muted emotional and affective dimensions of doctoral training and place them at the fore. In doing so they produce a rich and unique collection which challenges, complicates and enlivens our understanding of what it means to be a doctoral student or doctoral supervisor in the contemporary neoliberal university. -- Barbara Pini, Griffith University\u003cbr\u003eStudents, researchers and teachers will be inspired by this book and by its lively attention to some of the less recognised issues and inequalities faced by women academics at every stage of their career.  The book helps to challenge taken for granted and invisible assumptions about the gendering of the academy, opening up spaces for doing things differently and encouraging us to follow Virginia Woolf in ‘walking on the grass’. -- Jo Little, University of Exeter\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.
