Towards Greater Equality in Academia:
A Collective Response
Edited by Frederike Scholz, Associate Professor of Organizational Change and Digital Transition, HU University of Applied Sciences Utrecht, the Netherlands and Joanna Maria Szulc, Assistant Professor, Gdańsk University of Technology, Poland
Project Description:
This book seeks to address the challenges faced by Early Career Academics (ECAs) in today's academic landscape. We aim to foster a more supportive and collective environment where ECAs can thrive. Key areas include critiquing existing academic norms, exploring emerging challenges, sharing personal experiences, promoting diversity and inclusion, advocating for collective action, and proposing future strategies for change.
Our Approach:
The book incorporates personal stories from scholars of various generations, opening space for writing differently approaches. We encourage diverse storytelling methods, such as poems, vignettes, and virtual drawings, to showcase the vulnerability and struggles inherent in academia, but also the existence of a 'kind of equality' and a collective and collaborative space.
We offer two types of submissions:
1. General Book Chapter Abstract Submission:
We invite abstract submissions from ECAs interested in contributing to individual or collaborative chapters sharing their collective and/or individual stories of working in academia.
