Retrieving Eros: The Place of Nature in Feminist Critique of Capitalism
Epistemic Injustice: Governing Research Practice Within Academic Knowledge Production
Part 3: Anthropology of Policy
Seven authors reflect on Sue's contribution to developing the ‘Anthropology of Policy’ and its growth as a new sub-field of political anthropology since the 1990s. They show how her focus on policy brought together her earlier concerns with organisations, power and processes of social transformation with critical and reflexive perspectives on language, higher education reform and regimes of audit and accountability
Affective alignment and epistemic polarization: The case of feminist research in the neoliberalized university
This article explores affective alignment and epistemic polarization in the field of feminist research, resulting from the neoliberalization of the universities and a performance-oriented research economy. Previous research has described and analysed the ‘epistemic splitting’ that feminist scholars engage in to live up to standardized performance measures and be perceived as ‘proper knowers’ in the neoliberalized university. This article is based…
Retrieving Materialism: The Continued Relevance of Dorothy Smith
In this article, I argue that Smith's continued relevance coincides with more recent retrievals of Marx-inspired materialism. This materialism and the associated understanding of human beings-the social, language, and world people share in common-certainly do not capture all there is to say about Smith's eclectic and expansive social theory. However, the material dimension distinguishes her work from many other feminist sociologies and results in…

Rethinking gender equity in the contaminated university: A methodology for listening for music in the ruins
This paper offers a new way to engage with gender, race, and class relations in academic leadership and organizations. Viewing our research materials through different images helps us to ask new questions, open up new kinds of answers and ultimately other ways of knowing gender and leadership in academia. Our approach has three connected steps. Firstly, we engage with the ruins of the three main promises upon which the contemporary university has…
Feminist solidarity: Practices, politics, and possibilities
Feminist solidarity is a way of being that is embedded in cultural traditions and movements that resist women's socio-economic inequalities and patriarchal power. It unites women in, inter alia, a refusal to accept the ongoing prevalence of sexism and misogyny; the exploitation of women's labor, emotions, and bodies; physical and financial violence toward women; inequalities of work opportunities and entrenched gender pay disparities. Feminist so…
The affective economy of feminist leadership in Finnish universities: Class-Based Knowledge for Navigating Neoliberalism and Neuroliberalism
Women leaders are frequently treated as one class – a homogenised group with essentialised skills and competencies in binary relationship to male leaders. We explore how feminist ways of knowing gender and leadership, and circulations of affects, shape women’s diverse leadership practices and identities within the neoliberal, and neuroliberal academy in Finland – a Nordic country with a sophisticated gender equality policy architecture. We debate…

Passion, care, and eros in the gendered neoliberal university
In this article, we respond to Emma Bell and Amanda Sinclair’s call for reclaiming eros as non-commodified energy that drives academic work. Taking our point of entry from institutional ethnography and the standpoint of junior female academics, we highlight the ambiguity experienced in the neoliberal university in relation to its constructions of potential. We elucidate how potential becomes gendered in and through discourses of passion and care:…
Becoming academics: Embracing and resisting changing writing practice
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to analyze how global and local changes in higher education impact upon writing practices through which doctoral students become academics. The study explores how norms and values of academic writing practice are learned, negotiated and resisted and elucidates how competences related to writing come to determine the academic selves. Design/methodology/approach The study uses memory work, which is a group metho…
New masculinities in universities? Discourses, ambivalence and potential change
In this article, we explore forms and possible implications of new masculinities in universities, and elucidate how they relate to hegemonic masculinity. ‘New masculinities’ coins a particular tradition of naming in Nordic masculinity studies. In the Nordic context, gendered social relations are shaped by State policies and equality discourses, which are increasingly embracing father‐friendly initiatives. New masculinities refers to the increased…
Gypsy Feminism: An Interview with Laura Corradi
In the Nordic countries we have a long historical presence of Roma minorities and culture, not least in Finland where the Finnish Romani/Finnish Kale, originally deported to Finland from Sweden in the 17 th century, received full and formal citizenship rights with Finnish Independence in 1917.That being said, Romani peoples and immigrants across Nordic countries are made subjects of racism, othering and subordinated inclusion (see Loftsdottír et …
The social organisation of boasting in the neoliberal university
This article unpacks the social construction of the ‘ideal academic’ in the context of major shifts in the global and national governance of academia that have introduced managerial practices, standardised notions of excellence and accounting logics with the aim of increasing the efficiency and quality of higher education and academic knowledge production. More specifically it explores how the enacting of this ideal involves practices of boasting…
