Performing Feminism and Administration in Rhetoric and Composition Studies

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 writing program administrators, graduate WPAs, writing center directiors, WAC directors, 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 administrators, share stories of their own successes and failures, theorize these experiences in light of feminist thought and practice, and offer pragmatic recommendations to readers.
