À propos de ce contenu audio

 Academia is slow to change. There's those of us who shake it up, force it to change or even decide to leave and poke it from the outside! Change does happen but it's a challenge. When I was a professor, I would write blogs, engage in public outreach that involved I'm A Scientist Get Me Out Of Here, cocktail evenings with science, and other silly ways to get people the knowledge I was producing. I also made experiments fun by bringing VR to prisons and schools. And I brought Capoeira, a Brazilian martial art, to psychology conferences! These creative endeavors and inclusive practices are often not valued as are high-impact publications and large-scale grants. There are many other ways we are misfits, however. Many are simply due to who we are - queer, BIPOC, etc. So, I've been called to create a podcast called Academic Misfits, honoring those of us who have gone rogue or have rebelled in our own ways.© 2025 Academic Misfits Sciences sociales
