[ecrea] Academic Work Cultures and Wellbeing: Strategies for Transformation

Academic Work Cultures and Wellbeing: Strategies for Transformation


When: 2nd - 3rd May 2013

Where: Upstairs, Campus Hub, C10A,

Macquarie University


The aim of the conference is to reflect upon the state of working life 
in higher education today. While much has been written about the vast 
changes that have occurred within the sector in the last decade or so, 
there has been comparatively little research on the impact of such 
changes on the health and wellbeing of academic staff.

The conference will bring together academics working across a range of 
research fields and disciplines, in order to think about how we might 
tackle what we see as a hugely significant, and yet thoroughly under 
researched issue, namely the relationship between changes in the higher 
education sector in the context of neoliberalism and the wellbeing of 
academic staff.

Keynote speakers for the conference include:


Professor Gail Kinman (University of Bedfordshire, UK)
Professor Chris Lorenz (VU University Amsterdam, Netherlands)
Dr Holly Randell-Moon (University of Otago, New Zealand)
Associate Professor Sue Saltmarsh (Australian Catholic University)
Professor Terry Threadgold (Cardiff University, UK)
