This book proposes the concept of gendered academic citizenship as an analytical tool that is well equipped to capture the multidimensional and complex dynamics of power relations and everyday practices in the contemporary context of academic capitalism. Gendered academic citizenship is an underdeveloped concept, and this book offers both theoretical and empirical discussions based on recent research. It proposes a novel and innovative definition of gendered academic citizenship as involving three key components: membership, recognition and belonging and identifies four ideal-types of academic citizenship, as full, limited, transitional citizenship and non-citizenship. The different chapters of the book provide comprehensive reviews of the relevant research literature and present new empirical data to offer original insights into the dynamics of gendered academic citizenship across and within different national contexts. This book will be of interest to academic researchers and students at all the levels in the disciplines of sociology, gender studies, higher education, political science, and social policy.
