Academia: A dream profession? - QPOL
Who’d be an academic? Plenty of people, it seems! And yet as recent research shows, it appears as though the stress and pressure of academic life has never been greater. These problems tend to remain under the radar, unspoken and hidden. It is important to start highlighting them, although normal academic life doesn’t offer many opportunities. In a recent project, Dr Kate Kenny (Queens) and Dr Sarah Gilmore (Portsmouth) developed a new approach to research that allows collective reflection on these issues.
