Introduction

The handbook explores transdisciplinary feminism by way of methodological mobilities, disciplinary disruptions, mentoring and collaboration, and creative interventions. In engaging with these aims and issues, authors and artists address topics that include engaging multiple communities in research; mentoring from both academic and community-based perspectives; creating and maintaining collaborative relationships; managing personal, professional, and financial challenges; addressing writing blocks and feelings of being overwhelmed; and experiences of care and joy. Authors engage with feminist transdisciplinary research from multiple perspectives and in multiple ways. These include case studies that provide examples of methods, tools, and techniques; dialogues among postgraduate students and faculty mentors that respond to key questions students ask while doing transdisciplinary feminist research; autoethnographies, biographical accounts, and narrative vignettes that consider aspects of identity and the affective and political spheres of research; a variety of presentational forms that privilege heterogeneity rather than homogeneity as core to feminist transdisciplinary praxis.
