Academic labour is increasingly undertaken by a diverse and hierarchical workforce where not all perspectives are heard. Professors comprise only 20% of tenured academics—of which only 20% are women and most of the able bodies working in universities are white and straight.

This eBook is a collection of peer-reviewed papers from the Discourse, Power, Resistance (DPR) conference that articulate the absence of presence within the academy of sub-prime scholarship.
