作者通过自我民族志方法，记录在英国高校工作期间接受生育治疗的经历，揭示新自由主义学术环境下不孕不育作为隐性工作场所问题的情感与身体体验，并提出支持同事的建议。
ABSTRACT In this paper, I provide an autoethnographic account of my experiences of undergoing fertility treatment while working in a higher education institution in the United Kingdom. My autoethnographic reflections are situated in the context of neoliberal academia, characterized by high pressures to perform. Despite the prevalence of infertility and the significant impact that undergoing fertility treatment can have on an individual while trying to fulfill employment responsibilities, infertility has been described as an invisible workplace issue. Through autoethnographic vignettes, I seek to make visible the hitherto stigmatized infertile body in the neoliberal academy by bringing to the fore how I performed my role as an academic while undergoing fertility treatment; highlighting my emotional and embodied experiences of undergoing fertility treatment while working in higher education; and proposing recommendations as to what more can be done to support colleagues undergoing fertility treatment.
