Abstract
Queer feminist pedagogies can be understood in part as strategy for transforming academic hierarchies. We develop an expanded understanding of teaching(s) to encompass learning about power as we navigate the heteronormative and anti-feminist university. This expansive approach allows us to consider informal learning, between academic peers across university hierarchies, and the hard lessons learnt when we persist with making space for queer feminism. In this contribution, we set out our interruption methods and proceed to 1) explore how queer feminist negotiations of the academic career course teach us about power, 2) attend to queer feminist mentoring and its co-optation in leadership development schemes as another teachable moment and 3) look to how queer feminists, and their teaching, are made institutionally recognisable in equality initiatives such as Athena SWAN. Throughout we are concerned with contradictory expectations placed on queer feminists as problem solvers responsibilised for remediating institutional failures, and ask whether queer feminist teachers can embrace the 'failure' inherent in the role, as subversive and radical potential.
