Precarity is not a niche issue. One-third of academic Geographers in the UK are on fixed-term contracts. Our report shows the profound personal, professional, and disciplinary impacts of this. #StatesofPrecarity Full report: www.rgs.org/research/hig...

Precarity is often presented as something that only effects early career researchers or people on fixed term contracts. Our report found that 45% of geographers on permanent contracts feel precarious. The implications for the discipline are wide ranging. Read more 👇 www.rgs.org/research/hig...
