Can we re-imagine academic life? A cursory glance at the British higher education trade press gives us headlines bemoaning standards, worries over global and institutional competitiveness, and concerns about practices from marking to contact hours. Despite long-cherished notions of academic freedom and autonomy, all would seem to be doom and gloom. How, in what appear to be such depressing circumstances, can we construct meaningful, positive academic identities?
This conference seeks to address some questions central to understanding academic life in its current guise and looking towards a re-imagined future. Through four distinctive strands, we invite contributions from a range of disciplinary, theoretical and methodological perspectives that speak to identity construction in contemporary higher education.
Call for Contributions is now CLOSED.
