Our Positive Academia Manifesto now published as a provocation essay
Launches our brand-new Positive Academia manifesto - our first in a series of publications to build a foundation for Positive Academia
When we started Positive Academia officially two years ago, we decided we wanted to write a manifesto. We also reasoned we might as well try to publish this in a journal. After all, we cannot fully escape the expectations of the current system, especially for ECRs.
This effort ballooned into a 40-page single-spaced article that obviously was unpublishable. So, we cut it up in separate pieces which morphed into several very distinct articles. Christa also wrote another two articles on her own since then and had a proposal for an edited book on Academic Heterotopias accepted with Edward Elgar publishing.
Most of these are still to come, we all know how drawn-out the publishing process is. But we are delighted, that the key tenets of our re-imagination of a more Positive Academia have been officially published in online first at Management Learning. Here is the full reference.
