(Re)Birthing the Academy: Unruly Daughters Striving for Feminist Futures
In this chapter, the authors argue for the (re)birthing of the academy in ways that would support academic women in their responsibilities for the care of others.

A biographical approach is taken to explore these discourses within the everyday experiences of Susan, an academic and mother. It is argued that while the interse…
