Abstract
Within this article I offer a brief rationale for de-disciplining and re-disciplining research communication, present a drama script using the narrative experience of six women casual academics from across three Australian universities, and offer a succinct rationale for employing artistic forms of communication more generally, and drama more particularly, for re-presenting lived experience. The article predominantly focuses on the stories of women causal academics in Australian universities. It is their voices that are privileged and centralised.
