Hair Straighteners on the Train – A Perfect Politics? | feminist academic collective

https://feministacademiccollective.com/2015/08/07/hair-straighteners-on-the-train-a-perfect-politics

Hair Straighteners on the Train A Perfect Politics? August 7, 2015. August 7, 2015. 8216;I straighten my hair, and take trains’. This post is inspired by 2 things 1) I’ve just been reading Angela McRobbie’s excellent commentary. On the ‘perfect’ and the workings of competitive femininity in neoliberal times, and, 2) once seeing a woman straightening her hair on a train. As Angela McRobbie recounts in her example regarding women ‘making up’ themselves on public transport:. Rage against the sex machine.

https://feministacademiccollective.com/2015/08/13/inside-out-of-my-head-what-i-learned-from-pixars-latest-film

Inside Out of My Head: What I Learned From Pixar’s Latest Film. August 13, 2015. August 13, 2015. There are so many preconceptions about feelings and emotions we do not challenge that we usually have a one-sided (very biased) view on them. This view is very patronising and is fed to us by our families, society, self-help books, different styles of therapies, and so on. We have been conditioned to think that happiness. Emotions and that we should fight them or at least learn to control them and/or. Be the...

Professionally outraged feminists in 2015 | feminist academic collective

https://feministacademiccollective.com/2015/06/28/professionally-outraged-feminists-in-2015

Professionally outraged feminists in 2015. June 28, 2015. June 29, 2015. It might have something to do with the fact that, while feminist perspectives have undergone well-documented struggles in finding a political voice on the right-wing, they have all too often been treated as peripheral on the left-wing too. Hordes of the professionally outraged are everywhere. They’re bringing down sexist. Student bodies and transphobic. How could people behave this way? We deserve better than this.

Hot-housed academic flowers and imposter syndrome | feminist academic collective

https://feministacademiccollective.com/2015/07/31/hot-housed-academic-flowers-and-imposter-syndrome

Hot-housed academic flowers and imposter syndrome. July 31, 2015. And loss of skin pigment.

We know that imposter syndrome is bullshit, yet my sense from talking to colleagues is that it still persists. Enter your comment here.

Skip to primary content. Selfish Women and Other Inconvenient Deviants. January 3, 2015. Lisa is currently working on a new research project about selfishness and gender.
