Opis

How do academics decide what counts as "proper" knowledge, worthy of being read, cited, funded? And is feminist scholarship recognised as such? This book offers an ethnography of academia, examining the official and unofficial discourses that circulate in universities about the value of women’s, gender, and feminist studies.
