'In recent years, numerous scholars and university personnel have expressed concerns about the changing professional environment in which they work. During this course, we want to make researchers more aware of the context in which they find themselves, and encourage them to play an active role in the development of contemporary academia. We will address themes like mental health, knowledge production and labour in research through a combination of workshop activities, presentations and discussions.'
