Not all research careers look the same. Not all academics spend their working lives in labs, or dark offices surrounded by dusty books. A research career can mean working in theatres or schools, influencing policy, working with the world' s leading brands and businesses, and much, much more. Showing the true diversity of scholarship, and the women leading the way, ResearcHER offers an A-Z of research and researchers from around the world, exploring who researchers are and what they really do, all whilst celebrating female scholarship. Each short chapter offers an insight into a real-life researcher, their background and journey into a research career, what they' re currently researching, their top tips for budding researchers, and fun facts and activities to explore yourself. ResearcHER smashes stereotypes to show you that research is not just conducted by men and women in lab coats or stuck in stuffy offices; researchers are women from all backgrounds, researchers come from diverse geographies, are disabled and able-bodied, are transgender, nonbinary, queer. Researchers look just like you, and you could be one too.
So often - too often - women have been excluded from higher education. When women became students and academics, we are labelled ' teachers. ' We completed the ' housework' of higher education, writing curriculum, designing assessment, and ' caring' for students and colleagues. So often - too often - women are invisible. Marginal. Marginalized. The warmup act. Never on the main stage. ResearcHER rewrites the story we have heard all our lives. This powerful book introduces not only a group of remarkable international women researchers, but reveals the power of their diversity. It remains inspiring to see how women - so often living and reading and thinking against the odds and against systems and structures that demean and undermine - can transform knowledge. -- Tara Brabazon, Professor of Cultural Studies (Flinders University), Professor of Higher Education (Massey University).
The Women in Academia Support Network (WIASN) aims to provide a safer space for all women in academia at every level to support each other, to build networks and to share knowledge, in order to enable women to better navigate academia, and to support women in their various roles inside and outside the academy.
