Abstract

Abstract:In response to demands for scholarly innovation and a younger generation’s research approaches, collaborative work has become increasingly common on American campuses. Against the backdrop of the neoliberalization of higher education and the concomitant emphasis on quantifying research productivity, we reflect on the meanings of collaborative work for us as feminist scholars and teachers working within the humanities. In particular, we draw attention to the varying and often overlooked emotions academic collaborations can provoke as we work with others across hierarchies and disciplines. While collaborative work may take already-familiar forms like coediting or co-teaching, we must develop ways to value (and to evaluate) more radical forms of collaboration, such as blending multiple voices in essays or books, that challenge notions of individual achievement. Successful collaborative work cannot be mandated. Yet we each might want to consider what forms we can embrace and how we can help create the space for those collaborations aimed at bringing about meaningful institutional change.

绘制协同工作中的“Co”:外部压力、机构反应和个人影响
摘要:为了应对学术创新的需求和年轻一代的研究方法,合作工作在美国大学校园中变得越来越普遍。在高等教育新自由主义化的背景下,以及随之而来的对量化研究生产力的强调,我们反思了作为人文领域的女权主义学者和教师,合作工作对我们的意义。我们特别要注意的是,当我们与不同层次和学科的人合作时,学术合作可能会引发各种各样的、经常被忽视的情绪。虽然合作工作可能采取我们已经熟悉的形式,比如共同编辑或共同教学,但我们必须找到方法来评估(和评估)更激进的合作形式,比如在文章或书籍中融合多种声音,这挑战了个人成就的概念。成功的协作工作不能被强制。然而,我们每个人都可能想要考虑我们可以接受哪些形式,以及我们如何帮助为那些旨在带来有意义的制度变革的合作创造空间。
