Event Summary
The demands of an academic job seem to have increased in the last decade. You are expected to be an extraordinary teacher, a creative and critical pedagogue, a world-leader researcher with projects that will transform communities and organisations, an attentive personal tutor in your pastoral care activities, an income generator, and an effective administrator. Indeed, the multiplicity of roles within the same job have the potential to scare some brilliant people away from Higher Education.
In this seminar, Sandro will explore ideas for potential converging agendas that can help you to keep bureaucrats ‘away’ while you shape your own career path as you wish. Now, he may fail miserably in this attempt, but you will only know if you come along!
