Doing Academia Differently

The series builds on the growing interest in doing things differently in academia. For years, critical scholars in management and organisation studies, higher education studies, and other social sciences have been drawing attention to the imposition of increasingly narrow prescriptions of what it means to be an academic and to do academic work. The damaging effects of such narrowing prescriptions on academic careers, identities, knowledge, and wellbeing, and their adverse implications for universities and broader society have also become increasingly recognised. Academia and academics are at a breaking point in many parts of the world, and alternatives need to be urgently sought and found to reimagine, nourish, and revitalise academia.
The aim of this series is to consolidate and foster this search for alternatives by making available cutting-edge, creative, and innovative contributions that ask how we can do academia differently.
