It is always rewarding to see an idea begin to travel. In a new The Slow Academic essay, Agnes Bosanquet connects slow academia, heterotopias and university space with our concept of the University Without Walls. theslowacademic.com/2026/09/27/s... #UniversityWithoutWalls #SlowAcademia

Why are some professions seen as “women’s work”? Our Critical Public Health paper argues that underrepresentation ≠ disadvantage. Men may face barriers entering feminized professions, yet gain leadership advantages once inside too. We call this entry–advancement asymmetry. doi.org/10.1080/0958...

Burnout among Ukrainian academics is not just about individuals — it reflects how universities function. Support works only when it is trusted, accessible, and embedded in institutional culture. Otherwise, it’s just noise. #AcademicBurnout #HigherEducation #Ukraine #MentalHealth #WarAndEducation
