Navigating Academia and Activism
0 likes17 views
This document discusses navigating activism and academia as an early career researcher. It addresses five common concerns researchers may have: not having enough time, needing to focus on activities that count, findings being too incremental, findings not being actionable, and fear of saying something wrong. It advocates that activism charges are ad hominem arguments, and that violating scholarly standards is the real issue. It discusses how activism could be seen as a feature rather than a bug. It calls for more activism, openness and constructive debate around sources, data, results and political stances. The document provides contact information for Leonhard Dobusch to continue the discussion.
