Thanks Maha – and thank you to Scott and Sarah too for their additional inks…
Just a thought – whilst I absolutely take your point – I do think that some of this ‘drive by’ listening – and reading – is also linked to the high workloads and higher expectations placed upon academics – and thus the ‘burnout’ we all suffer from. We just don’t have the quality time, the slow time (https://theslowacademic.com/2016/11/14/first-blog-post/) to actually be proper academics at all. So for some of us this shadow academia – where we just barely hang on to doing any listening/reading – let alone radical or slow or active listening/reading – feels like as good as it gets?
