After months of relentless work, some time off for exhaustion,balancing caring responsibilities & increasingly impossible academic job,the joys of the digital picket to support amazing colleagues on strike (@KeeleUCU we could not)I’m happy to share this: edinburghuniversitypress.com/book-refugee-i…
I have to thank the amazing @David_Farrier & Agnes Woolley for supporting me at difficult times (this was when Brexit really hit hard on my family).This is what is left in academia worth staying and fighting for:collegiality, scholarship,and of course,working with students.
As the system instils more competition, fierce individualism,fear of demotion, we need to stand together. Let us do scholarship in a collegiate fashion, fight precarity and the tide of neoliberal crap pushed onto us.
This is to say that all our work ought to b acknowledged because produced under exceptional pressure in an increasingly oppressive HE environment.Often self-promotion(especially on Twitter)obliterates the challenges of maintaining a healthy work/life balance.#ucustrikeback
