Women Practicing Resilience, Self-care and Wellbeing in Academia - Hardback

Through a lens of self-care and wellbeing, this book shares stories of struggle and success from a diverse range of women in academia.

Each story highlights how these women mitigated and overcame various barriers as part of their academic trajectory and provides practical strategies for maintaining self-care and wellbeing. Taken from lived experience, the autoethnographic narrative approach provides a deeper, personal understanding of the obstacles faced by women throughout an academic career and guidance on how these might be navigated in a way that avoids self-sacrificing.

This collection goes further to illustrate the ways that higher education institutions can be more accommodating of the needs of women.
