📢#OutNow in #OA: '#Migrant #Academics’ Narratives of #Precarity and #Resilience in #Europe', edited by Olga Burlyuk and Ladan Rahbari.

This volume consists of narratives of #migrant #academics from the #GlobalSouth within #academia in the #GlobalNorth.The autobiographic and autoethnographic contributions to this collection aim to #decolonise the discourse around #academicmobility by highlighting experiences of precarity, resilience, care and solidarity in the #academic margins.

Building on #precarity as a critical concept for challenging #socialexclusion or forming #political collectives, the authors move away from conventional #academic styles, instead adopting #autobiography and #autoethnography as methods of #intersectional #scholarly analysis.

New participant observation study at a Swedish high school finds “a clear discrepancy between the school staff ’s description and the students’ description of the same classroom environment. No staff members mention the segregation or social exclusion [of minority students].”
