"[colleagues] were often unaware or ignorant of the extensive use of fixed term contracts and the wide-ranging personal and professional implications of those contractual terms." Check out our new Geography Directions blog post for early project findings and info on our free #precarity resources.

Where’s the best place to put your free #precarity awareness posters? I’ve gone for the honeypot - or coffeepot - approach!

We are pleased to announce the launch of a series of precarity awareness posters based on the findings from the survey. Free to download and print - please circulate online and put them up in your departments. Thanks to @zjayres for the design! www.statesofprecarity.co.uk/resources

Precarity and health have complex interactions. How might they affect academic productivity and the health of the discipline?

We are focusing on a UK context, but #academicprecarity is not a UK only issue. We hope our examples of best practice will have international value when released. In solidarity ✊

Our survey of experiences of #precarity within UK higher education #geography departments was completed by 11.4% of geographers working in the UK today. For a more detailed break down of our sample, check out the survey page on our website www.statesofprecarity.co.uk/the-survey

Our new website has been launched. Watch this space for updates on the project www.statesofprecarity.co.uk
