description In his text, following the metaphor of knighting together our experiences, we elaborated a dialogic autoethnography. We intertwined out histories in an exercise consisting of writing individually and discussing our texts on weekly meetings. This exercise has allowed us to articulate three histories as full time academics dedicated mostly to do research. We took the decision to do this shared inquiry process because we felt an urgent need to reflect on that professional career, which was initiated by vocation decades ago, but as we approach its conclusion due to retirement, has changed its meaning. This, we consider, responds to a great degree to the relevance administrative criteria has taken as opposed to academic criteria in a new context that some have characterized as the neoliberal university.The three authors —two of whom have done research within the qualitative tradition, autoethnography on this particular case, and one of them who has for many years done research on women job trajectories within public universities— have done an introspection rehearsal with the intention to detect nodal issues and to explore viable alternatives within the contemporary context.

En este artículo, siguiendo la metáfora de ir haciendo juntas un tejido de experiencias, elaboramos una autoetnografía dialógica. Entrelazamos nuestras historias mediante un ejercicio que consistió en escribir de manera individual y discutir los textos en reuniones semanales. Este ejercicio nos ha permitido articular tres historias como académicas de tiempo completo dedicadas principalmente a la investigación. Tomamos la decisión de hacer este proceso de indagación compartida porque sentimos la urgente necesidad de reflexionar sobre esa carrera profesional, que iniciamos por vocación hace ya varias décadas, pero que, conforme nos acercamos a su posible conclusión por jubilación, ha dejado de tener el mismo sentido. Esto, consideramos, responde en gran medida a la relevancia que han tomado los criterios administrativos en detrimento de los académicos en un nuevo contexto, que algunos han caracterizado como la universidad neoliberal.Las tres autoras —dos de las cuales han trabajado más la metodología cualitativa, en este caso particular la autoetnografía, y una de ellas que durante años ha investigado las trayectorias laborales de las mujeres dentro de las universidades públicas— hemos hecho un ejercicio de introspección compartido con la intención de detectar cuestiones nodales y de explorar alternativas viables dentro del contexto actual.
