Résumé
This review examines Academic Citizenship, Identity, Knowledge, and Vulnerability by Nuraan Davids, a book that critically explores how intersecting structures of power, identity, and knowledge shape life in academia. I highlight the author's contribution and focus on interrogating the uneven experiences of belonging and participation in higher education, revealing how academic citizenship is not equally distributed but influenced by race, gender, nationality, and institutional hierarchies. The review emphasizes the author’s distinctive approach to considering individual academic identities in shaping experiences of belonging. I also discuss limitations regarding the book’s generalizability, given its specific context, setting, and participant recruitment. Overall, the review of this book contributes meaningfully to ongoing debates about equity and inclusion in academia, supporting the author's call for institutions to rethink what it means to belong, contribute, and thrive in higher education.
