""Unmasking Academia draws upon accounts of those writing from diverse stances and positions within the academy. Each of their narratives is compelling, combining general issues and specific experiences that contextualize academic work and life in the shadow of the pandemic.” Terry Wotherspoon, University of Saskatchewan

""Unmasking Academia advances a powerful critique of university administrators’ message that ‘we are in this together’ during the COVID-19 pandemic and demonstrates how, in fact, the most marginalized faced additional barriers and precarity. Offering insight from a range of sites within higher education, contributors provide a thoughtful analysis of the intersectional impact of the pandemic—beyond the mainstream focus on the gender gap. This important collection calls out the rhetoric of EDI and offers new understandings and ways forward for a more just academy.""
