9.3 Performance

Recently, I listened to a colleague, a professor, from my institution speak. She was requesting a call to action:The nature of academic work has changed enormously, especially in how people identify as an academic. It is no longer Hogwarts, dressed in an academic gown, pondering over problems. We have to find ways to deal with it, work with it, and shift how we see it in terms of it being something ‘bad’. We have to justify what we do and how we do it, as a part of accountability. The neo-liberal university challenges our sense of autonomy and professionalism, it is not all good, but it is not all bad either. We have to think about how we place our self, how we want to work within this context. Uncertainly can be there in this environment - there are challenges for identity , what you value and what kind of academic you want to be. What will we buy into and be known for? There are opportunities. What will these be?
