Description: Many enter the academy with dreams of doing good; this is a book about how the institution fails them, especially if they are considered outsiders.
Review Quotes: "Academic Outsider is the kind of book that sticks with you. The kind of book that forces you to notice inequities and that would give you side-eye if you saw those inequities and tried to look away. The essays in Academic Outsider are poignant and sometimes painful to read. Yet, they are also poignant and painful in a way that leaves room for hope. The book inspires readers to recognize and embrace opportunities to resist the oppressive structures within academia and the oppressive structures that academia helps to perpetuate."--Jessica Calarco, author of A Field Guide to Grad School and Negotiating Opportunities
