Further complicating this inequity is the tendency of academe to favour authoritarian perspectives largely associated with male ways of knowing. As women academics struggle to negotiate hospitable professional spaces, they are often pulled between conflicting senses of self. Scholarly writing within disciplinary contexts is one way that women can employ agency against patriarchy to author their own sense of self. In this spirit, this peer-reviewed collection aims to bring awareness to the unique experiences of women in the academy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is the book that I wish I had when I began my career navigating my life as scholar, artist, and mother in the academe. \u003cem\u003eSister Scholars\u003c\/em\u003e is packed with insights from diverse lived experiences and various methodologies and brings forth radical ways of being attentive to one's voice, while not sacrificing any parts of oneself. Be prepared to explore the terroir of a rich fertile land and discover a hospitable place that is both creative and critical and spins a new world. I celebrate this book with all my being and commend it as a pinnacle of finding a way to be a scholar that is deeply human and fully responsive to all the fabrics of our lives. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCeleste Snowber\u003c\/strong\u003e, PhD, dancer, poet, scholar\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eProfessor, Simon Fraser University\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eSister Scholar\u003c\/em\u003e weaves a thoughtful and reflexive thread through what often feels like disparate and competing roles for academic women - daughter, activist, mother, sister, friend, teacher, scholar, partner, and leader. A unifying theme throughout the book is that, as a \u003cem\u003eSister Scholar\u003c\/em\u003e, there is a continual and complex negotiation of space, identity, and personal resources. It's often emotional labour. I located myself on every page and, in doing so, experienced a deep sense of connectedness with the authors and their words. The idea of a sisterhood was prominent. Sister Scholar is an important read for academics and not just those that identify as women. Locating ourselves in the experience with others is liberating and affirming and so too is the work of understanding the experiences of others. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e Donna Kotsopoulos\u003c\/strong\u003e, PhD\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eProfessor \u0026amp; Dean\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWestern University\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 266\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.56 x 9.21 x 6.14 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e January 29, 2021\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48452221862137,"sku":"9781645040880","price":53.21,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/uSX0x4uiO9781645040880.webp?v=1779947567","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/sister-scholars-paperback","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
