5.08 The Big Precarity in Academia Roundtable

In our season 5 finale, we sit down with Dr Mirand Corcoran, Dr Dara Downey, and Dr Deirdre Flynn for a candid discussion of what it's like to be precarious as an early-career researcher. We talk about different kinds of short-term contracts, how the existing academic system enables pay below minimal wage for ECRs and how academic culture fuels our willingness to be exploited, and cover what we can do individually and collectively to work towards changing the system.
