Lesbian Academic Couples by Michelle Gibson; Deborah T. Meem

Lesbian Academic Couples

Michelle Gibson; Deborah T. Meem

Lesbian Academic Couples is a collection of writings by scholars who examine–in theory and in narrative–issues faced by partners working in the academic field, including the politics of spousal hiring, discrimination in hiring practices, collaboration between partners, long-distance relationships, team teaching, and job sharing. This unique book presents firsthand accounts from senior faculty with lengthy credentials in LGBT scholarship who have been able to land academic positions not compromised by outing, from established academics who have been outed to negative effect, from junior scholars with a queer specialty, and from faculty whose work is constantly shifting and unpredictable.
