Congratulations to Lisa Ortiz-Vilarelle for the launching of her edited book with Routledge!

Abstract: Career Narratives and Academic Womanhood is a collection of essays in which life writing scholars theorize their early-career, mid-career, and late-career experiences with the documents that shape their professional lives as women: the institutional auto/biography of employment letters, curriculum vitae, tenure portfolios, promotion applications, publication and conference bios, academic website profiles, and other self-authored narratives required by institutions to compete for opportunities and resources. The essays explore the privacy laws, peer review, disciplinary standards, digital media, and other standardizing tools, practices and policies that impact women’s self-construction at pivotal junctures during which they promote themselves in the spaces of academic careers.

This link provides book reviews by some of the leading scholars in the field of Life Writing Studies.
