*'Caring for Ourselves and Others as Early Career Academics'*

An Early Career Forum Event, funded by the BSA

Gilchrist Postgraduate Club, University of Glasgow

Tuesday 20th June, 2017 (10am - 4pm)


This one day event aims to explore the challenges of contemporary academic labour specifically on Early Career Academics (ECAs) through the lens of care. Care is defined broadly to encompass both self-care in response to the intensifying pressures of the neoliberal academy, as well as care responsibilities for others, remaining sensitive to intersections of gender, race, age, class, ability and nationality. Recent scholarship into academic labour has highlighted the heightened pressures of the sector’s working cultures, characterised by intensified casualization, corporatization, long hours, an expectation to always be 'on' and an erasure of work/life boundaries. These labouring conditions produce and reinforce stark inequalities that are felt particularly keenly by ECAs. While this event is aimedprimarily at Early Career Academics and Researchers, we welcome people at all stages of their academic careers.

The event is funded by the British Sociological Association and costs £10 for BSA members / £25 for non-members (inclusive of all drinks and refreshments). *You can register and see a full programme of the day at the following * *link* <https://www.britsoc.co.uk/events/key-bsa-events/caring-for-ourselves-and-others-as-early-career-academics/>
