"Lockdown 69" happened to the whole world in Spring 2020... here is the story of Belinda Blumenthal and her COCK members.Locked down in the office as the world fell to pieces Belinda was left to organise the sleeping arrangements for the entire Steeles Pots and Pans staff... and some guests... very special guests such as the Countess of Leningrad, their training Guru Natasha Biles and her latest recruit Samantha... But the story moves quickly on as the Duchess recruits Belinda to work with the British Government to ensure the continuity of a pots and pans supply for Britain. But sinister and devious forces were afoot and Steeles were now about to feel the chill wind of fraud, bankruptcy and oblivion. Belinda, Bella, Des Martin and surprisingly Dave Wilcox... Regional Manager South West, were thrown into a battle rarely seen in the industry culminating in the initiation ceremony of the latest recruits to COCK. The fightback had begun and with the help of forensic accountant James Dribble Belinda and her COCKS would battle through the next few days of sheer turmoil and extreme sexual encounters. Enter villains D'artagnan Raspberry, Sammy Quin and Peggy Strumpethouse... newly married to Jim Thompson, Belinda's admin man. All holidaying in a South Sea island, revenge, death and nasty meat pies took their toll and it was all left to Helga of the FBI to clean up the international side of things. But back in London the sales of pots and pans had to go on and with some very important clients to entertain, Belinda and Bella were kept busy despite the ongoing crisis... But total disaster was approaching in the fast lane, MI6 intelligence had identified Wolfgang Bisch as the prime suspect... and this time he wasn't taking prisoners...Belinda Blinked...

The Social Production of Research offers critical perspectives on the interrelations between research funding and gender, in a climate where universities expect accountability and publishing productivity to be maintained at peak levels. Drawing upon a range of qualitative methods, contributors investigate experiences with research funding; the nature of institutional, funding body and country contexts; and the impact of social change and disruptions on research ecosystems and academic careers in Canada, Finland, Sweden and the UK. Nuanced accounts call attention to the social, emotional and political conditions within which research is produced, while identifying the ways academics enact, shape, negotiate and resist those conditions in their everyday practice. Featuring thought-provoking and critical insights for an international readership, this volume is an essential resource for researchers, academics, administrators, managers, funders, politicians and others who are concerned about the future of research funding and the importance of gender equity.

In this collection, both individually and collectively, the authors explore the gendering of women's experiences in academia through the lens of narratives of lived experience. This is a cogent theme throughout the book, reflecting on women's experiences as intersectional-always raced, classed, gendered, nuanced and complex. Jointly, the chapters provide important insights into individual and collective contemporary women's experiences in academia from international perspectives, such as gender equity, barriers to success, and achievement. This comprehensive volume provides a reference point for all women and their colleagues working in universities and colleges across the world.
