Performing Feminism and Administration in Rhetoric and Composition Studies

by Krista Ratcliffe, Rebecca Rickly

This text posits definitions, tactics, and consequences of feminist administration. Inspired by tensions that arise between feminist beliefs and administrative imperatives, contributors write from their locations as WPAs, Graduate WPAs. Writing Center Directiors, WAC Directions, Chairs, and Journal Editors, and also from ther locations as graduate students, adjunct faculty, assistant professors, associate professors and full professors. From these differing locations, contributors identity issues of concern for feminist adminstrators, share stories of their own successes and failures, theorize these experiences in light of feminist thought and practice, and offer pragmatic recommendations to readers.

some good stuff here. see esp. ch. 11 on feminist practices / spaces in mainly 'male' biz school. change from within -- teaching thru example, etc.
