Temporality remains unexamined when exploring higher education in the Global South. Less is known about how temporality influences gendered academic life in rapidly developing higher education systems in South Asia - such as Bangladesh.
Our study on Bangladeshi faculty illuminates the inter-relationships between temporality, gender, work experiences, and daily life in a Global South urban context. Drawing on a larger study of temporality and academic life among 22 academics in Dhaka, Bangladesh, we highlight how six female faculty engaged in temporal agency as they navigated their gendered timescapes by negotiating various expectations acting as temporal forces, such as work, home, and/or 'me time'.
