No Time to Reflect! ‘Precari’ in the University with a Few Tips for Survival
Current Writing: Text and Reception in Southern Africa ( IF <0.1 ) Pub Date : 2020-01-02 , DOI: 10.1080/1013929x.2020.1743026

The article focuses on the ‘precari’ in universities, both young academics and postgraduate students: that is, those who experience the insecurity of casualisation and the demands of management to drive their doctoral studies to completion and/or meet the annual ‘performance’ requirement of publication outputs. Precarity is invoked, accordingly, in its fundamental definition of insecure employment and income together with the accompanying psychological distress. First, I provide a brief context of current considerations of precarity, in which the trials of millennials tend to be side-lined in higher-order ‘precarity debates’, whether economic or philosophical. My return to the vulnerable younger members of the university does not end with an explication of the ‘problem’, as do many considerations of precarity. Rather, I offer a few tips for surviving the pressures of managerial time- and cost-efficiency research where the quantity of output is expected to supersede the time necessary to reflect.

没时间反省!大学里的“Precari”以及一些生存技巧

这篇文章重点关注大学中的“预备生”,包括年轻学者和研究生:即那些经历临时化的不安全感和管理层要求完成博士学业和/或满足年度“绩效”要求的人的出版物产出。因此,不稳定的就业和收入以及随之而来的心理困扰的基本定义中提到了不稳定。首先,我简要介绍了当前对不稳定因素的考虑,其中千禧一代的审判往往在更高层次的“不稳定争论”中处于边缘,无论是经济还是哲学。我对大学脆弱的年轻成员的回归并没有以对“问题”的解释结束,许多对不稳定的考虑也是如此。相当,
