Reyes blends her own personal experiences with the tools of sociology to lay bare the ways in which the structures of the university and the people working within it continue to keep their traditionally marginalized members relegated to symbolic status, somewhere outside the center.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eReyes confronts the impossibility of success in the midst of competing and contradictory needs--from navigating coded language, to balancing professional expectations with care-taking responsibilities, to combating the literal exclusions of outmoded and hierarchical rules. Her searing commentary takes on, with sensitivity and fury, the urgent call for academic justice. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Victoria Reyes\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1503632997\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781503632998\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Stanford Briefs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/05\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 184\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.45lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 4.95w x 0.45d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/01\/2023","brand":"Victoria Reyes","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44054389195007,"sku":"9781503632998","price":14.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_62b18692-6488-4b84-b9d7-6600b9d2a2a9.jpg?v=1685029684","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/academic-outsider-victoria-reyes-9781503632998","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
