Show Notes

In this episode, the final one we record on the Himalaya platform (the podcast will continue, just on a different platform – follow our social media for links) we talk about the need for a hard reset in the face of the devastating Fall increase in covid infections and the further collapse of the academic career. A hard reset means on one hand, remembering the good systems you might have put in place last March to deal with the pandemic, and bringing them back. On the other hand, recalibrate your relationship to the academy, so that no matter whether you stay or leave, you are operating autonomously and without delusional beliefs in the academy’s “goodness” and academic exceptionalism. This starts a new series on concrete advice to leave the academy.
