Full Description
Neoliberal theory on higher education highlights the challenges faced by academics in the "new times" of academia. The highly competitive environment and increased non-research duties put academics' time and dedication at risk. This is especially true for early career academics. However more research is needed to understand the experience of new generation academics that find themselves in this space.
