[csaa-forum] Academic Work Cultures and Wellbeing: Strategies for Transformation

[Holly Randell-Moon]

Academic Work Cultures and Wellbeing: Strategies for Transformation
When: 2nd - 3rd May 2013
Where: Upstairs, Campus Hub, C10A,
Macquarie University
The aim of the conference is to reflect upon the state of working life in higher education today. While much has been written about the vast changes that have occurred within the sector in the last decade or so, there has been comparatively little research on the impact of such changes on the health and wellbeing of academic staff. 
The conference will bring together academics working across a range of research fields and disciplines, in order to think about how we might tackle what we see as a hugely significant, and yet thoroughly under researched issue, namely the relationship between changes in the higher education sector in the context of neoliberalism and the wellbeing of academic staff.
Keynote speakers for the conference include:
Professor Gail Kinman (University of Bedfordshire, UK)
Professor Chris Lorenz (VU University Amsterdam, Netherlands)
Dr Holly Randell-Moon (University of Otago, New Zealand)
Associate Professor Sue Saltmarsh (Australian Catholic University)
Professor Terry Threadgold (Cardiff University, UK)For more information please visit the conference website at: http://academicwellbeing.wordpress.com/

Now, no one’s got anything to say. Write a song? No thanks, I’ll say it on Twitter. It’s a sad state when more people retweet than buy records" - Noel Gallagher
