Abstract

​This qualitative study draws on Foucault’s (1986, 2000) concept of heterotopia, representative of types of cultural, institutional, and complex discursive spaces. ​Aligned with Read’s (2023) principles on heterotopia, and the social precarity of academic contracts in Higher Education (HE), the study views HE as a complex, contested, cultural counter space which thrives on unequal practices in the motivation and promotion of Racially Minoritised Trailblazer’s (RMT’s).
