Academic Writing Amplified
259: [Should I Quit Academia Series] Higher Ed Is In Crisis - It's Time To Make Your Move [Re-Release EP 56]
04 Mar 2025
Higher education is in crisis! In today's episode, I explore how academia has been entangled in a fast-paced capitalist model, exploiting faculty and prioritizing output over meaningful academic work. I challenge professors to confront these unsustainable practices and take action to remake and reform their careers. As a scholar, you can break free from the constraints and burnout cycle, redefine your academic mission, and focus on the creation of knowledge rather than institutional requirements. I encourage you to reflect on your values and focus on developing systems that align with the direction you want your academic career to take. If you feel like you are constantly being shouldered with more tasks and are tired of feeling overworked and overwhelmed, this episode is for you. For full show notes visit scholarsvoice.org/podcast.
