This paper critically explores the notion of academic citizenship, evaluates its importance and argues that faculty have shifted away from engaging in collegial activities to behaviour that is purposefully targeted towards the attainment of academic performance metrics. We highlight the significant implications and challenges for the academy of a gradual retreat from academic citizenship in an era characterised by academic capitalism. We argue that university management urgently need to foster a culture of collegiality that fully appreciates and nurtures academic citizenship, particularly amongst junior faculty as they represent the future of the academy. Furthermore, we call for academic citizenship activities to be explicitly recognised in academic performance metrics and workloads to facilitate prioritisation by faculty.

学术公民的逐渐退却

本文批判性地探讨了学术公民的概念，评估了它的重要性，并认为教师已经从参与大学活动转向有目的地以达到学业成绩指标为目标的行为。我们强调在以学术资本主义为特征的时代，逐渐退出学术公民身份对学院的重大影响和挑战。我们认为，大学管理层迫切需要培养一种充分欣赏和培养学术公民意识的合作文化，尤其是在初级教师中，因为他们代表着学院的未来。此外，我们呼吁在学术表现指标和工作量中明确承认学术公民活动，以促进教师确定优先级。
