*'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
