- Description
- In this chapter, the author first traces the characteristics of neoliberalism in higher education, identifying significant themes, trends, and controversies in higher education research related to questions of gender equity. She then turns her attention to the ways this has been researched and theorized, with a particular focus on gendered identities, practices, and structures that relate to neoliberal and corporatized frameworks. Connected to this, the author considers the methodological paradigms and political contexts in which research is being developed and generated. She outlines a feminist politics of hope through critical theorization and action, aiming to create possibilities for reframing higher education and refusing to invest in neoliberal regimes of truth. Key themes include performativity, women in corporatized leadership and governance, women's access to and participation in neoliberal higher education, changing university structures, cultures, and practices, and epistemic access and the politics of knowledge in neoliberalized contexts.
