{"title":"Pandemic Panic on the Tenure Track: Why Early Career Scholars Need Transformative Support After COVID-19","authors":"Stephanie Medden","doi":"10.1093/ccc/tcab013","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1093/ccc/tcab013","url":null,"abstract":"A quick look at Twitter is enough to fray my nerves these days. Peppered between joyful announcements of promotions, book contracts, and published articles are daily reminders of the pandemic’s unequal impacts. At one extreme, there is the productive-in-the-pandemic bunch. Somehow, these scholars have been able to keep up the pace with their research—sure, they are probably tired and frustrated like the rest of us, but they are still conducting analyses, writing consistently, and submitting and publishing their work where it counts. Then, there are my people— the staying-afloat-during-the-pandemic bunch. Most of us quietly lurk and some-times like, share here and there, and maybe occasionally mock the productive bunch just a little, mostly because we are envious. Pandemic-induced anxiety in ac-ademia is at an all-time high and there are reasons for some of us to panic. Overall, college enrollments in fall 2020 were down 2.2% (Causey et al., 2020), institutions announced massive furloughs (Whitford, 2020), and some colleges facing pan-demic-era budget shortfalls closed permanently (Aspegren, 2021). As institutions respond to revenue losses, much of the burden has shifted to faculty who must adapt materials to new teaching modalities, cope with increased course capacities, and deal with restrictions on research funding and pauses on matching retirement contributions. The pressures of pandemic-era austerity measures come in addition to increased responsibilities at home caring for children, partners, and parents. In one faculty survey, 40% of respondents reported considering leaving their roles due to the impact of COVID-19, with early career academics being the most likely to consider leaving academia, at 48% (Flaherty, 2020). Why might this be? In this arti-cle I share some of my experiences as a woman, mother, first-generation academic, and early career scholar","PeriodicalId":54193,"journal":{"name":"Communication Culture & Critique","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2021-04-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90752405","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Precarity in the Academy and Solidarity Amidst COVID-19: Resisting Employment Restrictions on International Graduate Students","authors":"Jing Jiang","doi":"10.1093/ccc/tcab023","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1093/ccc/tcab023","url":null,"abstract":"Amidst worsening precarity exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic, this article analyzes my employment crisis to highlight the critical value of communication in solidarity efforts. My case is set in U.S. academia, where graduate assistant labor is increasingly necessary for universities to function (Kroeger, McNicholas, Wilpert, & Wolfe, 2018, January 11). However, due to their student–worker identity, graduate assistants are also vulnerable to job loss amidst contestations around their employee status and rights to unionize and collectively bargain (McNicholas, Poydock, & Wolfe, 2019, December 19). Accounting for one-third of graduate assistants (McNicholas et al., 2019, December 19), international students also face unique vulnerabilities tied to travel, citizenship, and work restrictions. These precarities surfaced during the pandemic when the United States closed borders and universities furloughed graduate assistants sheltering abroad (e.g., Redden, 2020, August 11). My experience illuminates broader job insecurities and inequalities in higher education while also drawing attention to the role of communication in solidarity efforts aimed at combatting injustices. I illustrate how communication facilitated solidarity through information exchange, action coordination, transparency mobilization, and emotional connection.","PeriodicalId":54193,"journal":{"name":"Communication Culture & Critique","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2021-04-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72759376","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Examining Inequitable Workload in a Time of Crisis: A COVID-19 “Sabbatical”","authors":"Brandi Lawless","doi":"10.1093/ccc/tcab016","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1093/ccc/tcab016","url":null,"abstract":"The COVID-19 pandemic greatly exacerbated already existing disparities for women in the academy (Guy & Arthur, 2021; Hayden & Obrien Hallstein, 2021; Sills, 2020). This is seen most prominently for mothers of infants, toddlers, or school-aged children who are expected to take on the bulk of childrearing and maintain their academic prowess. Institutional efforts to stop the tenure clock may do little to help these women “catch-up” or address the fact that they are more likely to fall behind their male counterparts. Even still, such accommodations do not change the fact that delaying tenure and/or promotion will increase pay inequities. For contingent women faculty, such a blow to productivity may halt the ability to secure long-term employment. These gaps have reached every corner of academe and threaten the future of the professoriate and our discipline. Women in academia are forced to choose between having a successful career and being a good mother. Or they are expected to perform the idea that they can “have it all.” The pandemic has made this discourse more evident. As a cisgender white woman in a heteronormative partnership, I am privileged in many ways and am able to escape the harsh realities of racism, neoliberal multiculturalism, and poverty that have disproportionately impacted BIPOC and international faculty on U.S. campuses. In some ways, I can ride the pandemic wave and appear unscathed on the other end. Yet, as a mother who struggles with an anxiety disorder and moderate depression, COVID-19 was mentally destructive. When I was visibly pregnant, my colleagues would tell me how lucky I was to be taking a “sabbatical” after my maternity leave. They used air quotes. They assumed I was not taking a sabbatical, but rather, an extended maternity leave. Both my maternity leave and sabbatical were deep privileges afforded to me and yet, the gendered expectation that I temporarily leave the workforce to set up house was sexist. In each of these encounters, I would respond with frustration, thinking to myself that none of my male colleagues would be accused of taking a “sabbatical.” I had a","PeriodicalId":54193,"journal":{"name":"Communication Culture & Critique","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2021-04-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76966991","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
