Abstract

The academic profession has experienced profound changes within the last decade. In addition to the systemic features that continue to transform the profession (e.g., overproduction of PhDs, metric-isation of performance assessment, permanent academic mobility), the pandemic, the use of AI (in teaching, learning, publishing), and the rise of anti-science in the Global North/West mark a new phase in the transformation of the academic profession. This panel brings together scholars who are researching and experiencing this transformation to debate the direction of the academic profession.
