“…Colleagues are positioned in competitive opposition, driving the experience of less genuine collegiality in research spaces (Harland et al, 2010;Peake & Mullings, 2016), and contributing to oppression, exclusion and homogeneity in the workforce. Given prevailing inequities and injustices within the research system (see Locke & Bensky, 2022;Locke & McChesney, 2023;McAllister et al, 2020;Naepi et al, 2020), there is a need to reconsider the role of research leadership and reimagine the ethical coordinates of research system actors.…”

The ‘research system’ in Aotearoa New Zealand is rife with obstacles for entry and retention of diversity. The research system's complexity and longevity gives the impression of stability and fixity, but we argue it is characterised by a lack of imagination around leadership that generates change. In this article, we examine the embodied experiences of research leadership, as encountered by participants at Aotearoa New Zealand's universities and a nationally funded Centre of Research Excellence. It is within such institutions and organisations, built on colonial and patriarchal values, that experiences of marginalisation, oppression and harassment have been documented. We destabilise the apparently static nature of this ‘research system monolith’ by taking up MacLeavy, Fannin and Larner's (2021) provocation of a feminist approach to boldly do leadership differently. Drawing from interviews with researchers, we argue that resistance to, and reworking of, the research system can be found in feminist modes of practice: in the everyday, mundane practices of care‐full research leadership that do leadership differently.
