Abstract
This paper provides perspectives from 11 women advocates with lived experience of various issues across higher education on the ways that the sector currently meets and does not meet the needs of those it employs. We discuss how we hope to disrupt the sector so that it can do better in the future, perhaps leading to a utopia for all rather than the privileged few that neoliberalism tends to cater to. Methodologically, we use a reflexive and recursive multivocal process of reflection, both on and in our own practice, as advocates and experiences of our positionality in higher education in order to present our utopian vision of what postneoliberal higher education could be to meet the needs of all working within the sector.
