OverviewQueer Precarity in Higher Education looks at queer scholars pushing against institutional structures, and the queer knowledge that gets pushed out by universities. It provides insight into the work of, in and beyond academia as it is un-done in the contemporary (post)Covid moment, not least by queer academic-activists. This radical un-doing represents cycles of queer precarity, pragmatism and participation both situating and questioning the ‘queer arrival’ of institutionalized programmes and presences (e.g. queer and gender studies degrees, prominent and public feminist academics). In this book, the contributors push back against contemporary educational precarity, mobilizing queer insight and insistence; and push back against confinement of the University, socially and spatially. The collection brings together academic-activist perspectives to extend understandings of experiences of marginalization and inequality in higher education. It also documents the diversity of tactics with which queers negotiate and resist the various, shifting and interconnected forms of precarity and privilege found on the edges of academia. Contributors consider these issues from inside/outside academia and across career course, challenging the ‘queer arrival’ as emanating outward from the university to the community, from the academic to the activist, or from a state of privilege to a place of precarity.

This book reminds me of the importance of resilience and solidarity needed in order to stand against the structurally racist academic institutions, that are still not addressing the work of young and old queer academics seriously or intersectionally. As someone who has been reflecting deeply about these themes for the last quarter century, and writing about the dialectical traces that POCs and Queer Academics have endured throughout the history of American academic institutions, a book like this is refreshing and affirming, allowing us to see that the Civil Rights movements of the 1960s and 70s have bloomed in our younger queer academics. * Gabriella Gutierrez y Muhs, Seattle University , USA * Before we normalize precarity and casualized labor in academia, as has occurred in many other, usually developing countries, we must resist and unite, support and align our solidarity with our queer communities in academia.

Wide-ranging in focus, and including both evocative reflections and analytical suggestions for change, it will be a valuable addition to many bookshelves. * Professor Jo Littler, City, University of London * Author InformationYvette Taylor is Professor of Education, University of Strathclyde, UK, and Fellow of the Academy of Social Sciences.
