ResearcHER by Women In Academia Support Network

ResearcHER smashes stereotypes to show you that research is not just conducted by men and women in lab coats or stuck in stuffy offices; researchers are women from diverse geographies, are disabled and able-bodied, are transgender, nonbinary, queer. Researchers look just like you, and you could be one too.

So often - too often - women have been excluded from higher educationWhen women became students and academics, we are labelled 'teachers.' We completed the 'housework' of higher education, writing curriculum, designing assessment, and 'caring' for students and colleagues.

So often - too often - women are invisible. Marginal. Marginalized. The warmup act. Never on the main stage.

ResearcHER rewrites the story we have heard all our lives. This powerful book introduces not only a group of remarkable international women researchers, but reveals the power of their diversity. It remains inspiring to see how women - so often living and reading and thinking against the odds and against systems and structures that demean and undermine - can transform knowledge.

The Women in Academia Support Network (WIASN) aims to provide a safer space for all women in academia at every level to support each other, to build networks and to share knowledge, in order to enable women to better navigate academia, and to support women in their various roles inside and outside the academy.
