The 'Insider Guides to Success in Academia' offers support and
practical advice to doctoral students and early-career researchers.
Covering the topics that really matter, but which often get
overlooked, this indispensable series provides practical and
realistic guidance to address many of the needs and challenges of
trying to operate, and remain, in academia. These neat pocket
guides fill specific and significant gaps in current literature.
Each book offers insider perspectives on the often implicit rules
of the game -- the things you need to know but usually aren't told
by institutional postgraduate support, researcher development
units, or supervisors -- and will address a practical topic that is
key to career progression. They are essential reading for doctoral
students, early-career researchers, supervisors, mentors, or anyone
looking to launch or maintain their career in academia. Are you
studying or working in academia and in need of support? Perhaps
you're finding your work, study or personal life challenging or
overwhelming; are experiencing bullying, harassment or abuse; or
find your progress is being blocked by unfair, exploitative or
precarious systems? Or perhaps you want to support a friend or
colleague who's struggling? Whether your problems are big or small,
Being Well in Academia provides a wealth of practical and workable
solutions to help you feel stronger, safer and more connected in
what has become an increasingly competitive and stressful
environment. This volume uses a realistic, pragmatic and - above
all - understanding approach to offer support to a diverse
audience. Covering a range of issues, it includes advice on: Ways
to increase your support network, so you're not alone. Reflections
and actions that encourage you to evaluate your position. Guidance
if you are in a stressful, precarious, dangerous or exploitative
situation. Checklists and agreements to help you identify your
specific needs and accommodations. Signposting to books, websites,
networks and organisations that provide additional support. Ways to
build your confidence and connections, particularly for Black,
Indigenous or People of Colour; LGBTQ+; disabled or chronically
sick; or other marginalised groups. Reflections on your rights and
the responsibilities academia should be meeting. Tips for being an
active bystander and helping others in need of assistance. Ideas
for resisting, challenging and coping with unfair or exploitative
environments. Suggestions for bringing you happiness, inspiration,
motivation, courage and hope. This book is a must-read for anyone
who wants to address the need to stay well in academia, and will be
particularly useful to those in diverse or disadvantaged positions
who currently lack institutional support or feel at risk from
academia.
