Announcing our Slow Academia Special Issue theslowacademic.com/2025/06/07/a... Open access www.peterlang.com/journal/27/7-1

I feel like "generous scholarship" is the best compliment anyone can give me regarding my work. That is what I strive for! And it is definitely what I see and hugely appreciate in @agnesbosanquet.bsky.social & colleagues' MOOC, too!

Generous scholarship at its best! mirjamglessmer.com/2025/02/21/r... from @mirjamglessmer.bsky.social

I'm celebrating recent publications thanks to the power of co-authorship, regular collaborative writing sessions, aligning research with work priorities, and opportunities to publish short articles theslowacademic.com/2025/02/20/r...

We have eight principles for scholarly reflective practice for learning and teaching. What are they? Our open access paper www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.... @agnesbosanquet.bsky.social @herdjournal.bsky.social #reflection

Critical books about the state of #HigherEd, no. 23: 'We see the neoliberal university as, in many ways, a paranoid, defensive institution that has lost ‘the capacity to distribute hope’ to many of its staff and students.' (Kenway/Boden/Fahey in Thornton (2014): 266)

Posts by @agnesbosanquet.bsky.social are always thoughtful and worth reading. This one, from late Nov, is no exception: "Acknowledging the ‘I’ who researches and disseminates research in particular ways. This is embodied work, is what this says." https://buff.ly/3OS9X1m #AcademicSky #PhDsky #AcWri

The physicality of academic work seems like a little-talked-about topic. I can't write for 8 hours, I can't prepare lectures non-stop, intellectual work is physically taxing on my body. Yes, even doing reviews is mentally and physically taxing.

How is your year ending? I took the time to jot down some ordinary happenings theslowacademic.com/2024/12/11/e... Mine has been a year of farewells and new beginnings, awards and failures, gatherings and celebrations galore. It is ending on a happy note.

Last week, in a panel discussion, I mentioned an approach to pedagogy that’s been in my mind for a while … so here’s The (very simple) Pedagogy of Letting Go lydiaarnold.net/2024/11/24/t...

Career advancement policies ‘used for wage theft’. Australian academics required to ‘act up’ for years before being paid for it, analysis finds. #WageTheft www.timeshighereducation.com/news/career-...

What are you daily goals? I have the same ones every day: join an interesting conversation, eat something good, spend time outdoors, and enjoy reading. I call them infinite goals: theslowacademic.com/2024/05/15/i... This is what time outdoors looked like for me yesterday:

Introduce yourself with One book 📚 — Chouette by Claire Oshetsky One movie 🎥 — Children of Men One album 💿 — Nadine Shah's Kitchen Sink One TV show 📺 — Creamerie One game 🎮 — Klask (table-top air hockey)

Hello all! I was on academic Twitter for years and have missed that community. Thanks to @wadekelly.com for prompting me to dive into BlueSky to find you again. Keen to have the interactions that don't fit the earnest backslapping of LinkedIn.
