ABSTRACTThis study investigates the material-discursive contexts available for lactation amongst U.S. teachers who wish to continue nursing [a] child(ren) upon returning full-time to the classroom. Using critical feminist methodologies, we interviewed teacher-parents who chose to lactate or nurse their infants while at school. The study suggests that schools in the United States might be rife with neo-patriarchy that is highly oppressive to teacher-parents. Further, we found that the few discursive strategies available to lactating teacher-parents to navigate a tenuous work/life balance tend to be largely rooted in the highly individualized, responsibilised discourse of neoliberal feminism that is woefully inadequate to pose any serious challenge to the entrenched neo-patriarchy in schools.KEYWORDS: Feminismneo-patriarchylactationteachers Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Notes1 All names used are pseudonyms, selected by participants themselves during initial rounds of member checking.2 In 2022, a whistleblower complaint about bacterial contamination at poorly regulated factories led to a Food and Drug Administration (FDA) investigation of Abbott, a corporation responsible for approximately 40% of the U.S. formula supply (Schreiber Citation2023, March 8). The resulting nationwide formula shortage lasted for most of 2022, with continuing supply chain reverberations into 2023.3 The purported health benefits of lactation have been contested by some feminist researchers. For instance, Williams (Citation2012) and Oster (Citation2019) both point out that most studies of lactation are biassed by the fact that women who have the time, space, and energy to practise lactation typically have education and financial resources that mark them as categorically privileged and therefore able to access different choices than women who do not. Therefore it is almost impossible to establish a causal relationship between health and educational attainment outcomes of babies who are and are not breastfed, since the high levels of income and education possessed by parents would correlate with better short and long-term outcomes for children even independent of lactation.Additional informationNotes on contributorsKelsey BensonKelsey Benson is a doctoral candidate in the Department of Educational Theory and Practice, at the University of Georgia, Athens, United States of America.

Early marriage and pregnancy hinder global commitment to attain gender parity in education. This article discusses educational challenges experienced by parenting college students during the COVID-19 pandemic in Uganda. The study qualitatively assessed the effects of COVID-19 on the National Teacher Colleges’ learning environment. On the reopening of schools after the lockdown, colleges were overwhelmed with an increased number of students who returned either pregnant or with young babies. Colleges were not prepared since pregnancy in college is prohibited through denial of on-campus accommodation and other services. Pregnant students were stigmatized, shunned and blamed for having engaged in immoral sexual behaviour and punished for their indiscretions. Pregnant and abandoned is structural gender-based violence that manifests in the physical, emotional, economic and social violence faced by pregnancy and parenting students, the young mothers are abandoned by their families and partners, and are denied child support and other student services. Future studies need to investigate the effects of such tormenting experiences of being abandoned on the academic performance and future parenting decisions of such girls.

This article explores entanglements of matter, space, and temporalities in shaping academic subjectivities in Norwegian higher education. Drawing on conversations with foreign women working at a major university, I explore the forces (re)producing what matters in academia, creating assumptions of who can be a real academic. Leaning on Karen Barad’s (Citation2010, Citation2017a, Citation2019) hauntology and Walter Mignolo’s (Citation2011) queering of temporality, this study elucidates how foreign women academics are entangled with the past through gendered and racialised hauntings and more-than-human discursive materialities, such as linear temporality and ideals of progress. Illustrating ways in which Othering are still enacted in the world of academia, I argue the necessity of rethinking institutions of higher education as spaces where westernised and patriarchal geopolitics of knowledge are reproduced. This study carries out a decolonial delinking of linear temporality towards the recognition of pluriversal experiences of now-time, expanding geopolitics of knowledge in Norwegian academia.
