摘要

This book presents principles that offer an alternative approach to current academic practices by fostering thoughtful engagement with scholarly work and collegial relationships. Academic work exists within a system of substantial workloads, publication expectations, funding requirements, workforce casualization, structural inequities, and academic rejection. These systemic barriers affect staff wellbeing and job satisfaction while creating challenging work contexts. This edited volume examines eleven key principles: Be upfront and honest about the things you do not know; Acknowledge the intrinsic value of others' knowledge bases even if they do not seem important to you from your institutional context; Do not feign mastery where you have none; Respect the gaps in others' knowledge bases; Be generous with others; Be generous with yourself; You overwork yourself at the risk of legitimising a culture of overwork; Privilege voices and perspectives that have historically been left out of the academy; Nothing is ever neutral or apolitical; Support the progress of other scholars; and Collaboration over competition.
