Using a collaborative critical personal narrative methodology grounded in intersectionality, we interrogated tensions in identifying ourselves as tempered radicals and scholar‐activists who were involved in a local university‐community activist organization. We assert the value of informal activist spaces within the university and identify issues related to the lack of recognition of scholar‐activism as legitimate scholarship, including the paradox of universities as colonizing and liberatory spaces for community engagement and activism. Our themes highlight how mentorship affects scholar‐activism and how activism transforms and disrupts the neoliberal university. Yet, activism is rendered invisible, making homeplaces for scholar‐activism critical for students, faculty, staff, and the community to address structural inequalities within and outside of the university. We conclude with recommendations to improve mentorship for scholar‐activists, to revise tenure and promotion policies to include scholar‐activism, and to recognize spaces within the academy that honor scholar‐activism as a critical form of praxis informed by intersectionality.

激进的激进主义和交叉性：新自由主义大学的学者激进主义

通过基于互通性的协作式批判性个人叙事方法，我们审视了将自己确定为参与当地大学-社区活动家组织的脾气激进的激进分子和学者活动家的紧张关系。我们主张大学内非正式活动家空间的价值，并确定与缺乏承认学者活动主义为合法奖学金有关的问题，包括大学作为社区参与和活动主义的殖民和解放空间的悖论。我们的主题强调了导师制如何影响学者行动主义，以及行动主义如何改变和破坏新自由主义大学。然而，行动主义变得无形，使得学者行动主义的家园对于学生，教职员工，和社区来解决大学内部和外部的结构性不平等问题。最后，我们提出了一些建议，以改善学者积极主义者的指导，修改任期和晋升政策以包括学者积极主义，并认识到学院内部尊重学者积极主义的重要场所，即通过交叉性来实践学者的重要形式。
