We are three women from different academic institutions who strategise and support resistance to the neoliberal university by engaging in collaborative auto-ethnographic research. Springer (2016) describes neoliberalism as a “vile dis- course” (p. 285), premised on notions of individualism, competition, and a coercive state (masquerading as non-interventionist), which does a woeful job of caring for the natural realm on which we all depend [...].
