and over 12K active and engaged Facebook group members from across the world from all aspects of academia.
Women in Academia Support Network came into being in May 2017 as a response to men’s discomfort of hearing women’s very real grievances of navigating academia and also just being women in the world. The demanding of women to silence their experience in order to sooth men’s discomfort was neither helpful or supportive of women’s experiences. In response, a dedicated support page was set up so that women could air their frustrations, needs and wants, without male ‘whataboutery’ and ‘not all men’.
