Recording of the event Towards Greater Equality in Academia: A Collective Response
During this event participants met the editors, and asked questions related to the call described below.
This book seeks to address the challenges faced by Early Career Academics (ECAs) in today's academic landscape. We aim to foster a more supportive and collective environment where ECAs can thrive. Key areas include critiquing existing academic norms, exploring emerging challenges, sharing personal experiences, promoting diversity and inclusion, advocating for collective action, and proposing future strategies for change.
The book incorporates personal stories from scholars of various generations, opening space for writing differently approaches. We encourage diverse storytelling methods, such as poems, vignettes, and virtual drawings, to showcase the vulnerability and struggles inherent in academia, but also the existence of a ‘kind of equality’ and a collective and collaborative space.
