Dr Kim Barbour (School of Humanities), Prof Rachel A. Ankeny (School of Humanities), Prof Carolin Plewa (Adelaide Business School) and Prof Jodie Conduit (Adelaide Business School) have contributed a chapter to the recently published book Gender, Embodiment, and the History of the Scholarly Persona: Incarnations and Contestations (Palgrave Macmillan, 2021). Within the chapter they explore the way in which scientists describe themselves using online biographies. In general, the book provides insight into the construction of scientific personas from an historical perspective, focusing in particular on aspects of gender and embodiment.
