Being and Becoming Professionally Other: Identities, Voices, and Experiences of U.S. Trans_ Academics is a path-clearing book that provides a rich, in-depth account of the lived experiences of 39 transgender or trans_ academics.
Despite increased visibility of trans_ issues within higher education, college environments remain unfriendly, and in some cases, overtly hostile to trans_ people. While there is much discussion of gender equity and faculty diversity, these conversations rarely include trans_ academics' voices. As a study participant described, trans_ voices are often out of place at best-or worse, completely discounted in academe, a betwixt place.
By not fitting into a particular mold, trans_ academics experience a variety of adverse events including microaggressions, outright hostility, and exclusion. These adverse experiences create a context wherein trans_ academics engage in various forms of additional labor. While not necessarily unique to trans_academics, these various forms of labor provided evidence to support my assertion that trans_ academics are or become professionally Other. Given this Other status, trans_ academics must form broad coalitions to bring about change within higher education organizations. Additionally, higher education leaders have an opportunity to change organizational contexts to better support trans_ academics by radically re-imagining colleges and universities.
This text would be an excellent choice for graduate and undergraduate courses about gender, qualitative research methods courses, and courses about academic careers, and organizational theories.
