Abstract

Collaboration is a central activity in and around academia. This is especially so in feminist-gender research, teaching and development. However, the collaborative impulse within feminisms can be in tension with some of the conditions of contemporary academia. The neoliberalization of universities, academia, and science has changed the structural, organizational and working conditions within which academic collaboration takes place. This can lead onto ambiguous, hybrid contexts for feminist-gender academic work. In the spirit of collaboration, this auto-dialogue interrogates collaboration in feminist-gender academia, in the light of personal and collective experience, with emphasis on dilemmas, delights and disillusions – as part of the critical and feminist task.
