Miriam E David, Feminism, gender and universities: Politics, passion and pedagogies

be problematic to make such claims where there is a deficit positioning. This book is unusual in exploring creative work and creative identifications from the view point of the workers themselves and this brings into focus aspirations and satisfactions that may be missed or unacknowledged in accounts written from an external perspective. This focus, together with the clarity of the writing, also makes this an affecting book engaging sympathetically with the experiences of cultural workers. Whilst this book wears its feminist credentials lightly, it is nevertheless feminist. As discussed earlier, the authors draw on feminist theorization of the subject and additionally they demonstrate the inequities inherent in pursuing a creative career that may disadvantage women and individuals from particular classed or ethnic groups. This is a work that should be read by anyone interested in the creative industries including creative (and aspiring creative) workers themselves. With the term creative industries now applied to a very wide range of occupations, there is also much in this book that is relevant to all our working lives. Beyond this, I suggest this is a book for anyone wanting to read an engaging and rigorous discursive–narrative analysis regardless of topic. For students looking to use discursive methodologies, this provides an excellent example of empirical work. Additionally, this is relevant for anyone concerned with the construction of identities and the ways in which these are claimed and negotiated.
