Wage theft chims against Australian universities have raised awareness of the substantial proportion of academics who are precariously employed and un- derpaid. The COVID-19 global pandemic has further highlighted the extent of precarity for many workingin higher education. Itis in this context that we situate this paper, reflecting on how time is experienced for academics in a period of growing uncertainty, and what this means for individuals who work on casual or fixed-term contracts. While previous research has examined how academics experience time, limited atzention has been paid to the ways in which time is experienced by those in precarious employment. Drawing on interviews with 24 academics employed on casual or fixed-term contracts, this paper investigates differences between the experiences of time for those in the ‘precariat’and those in ongoing employment. We describe social acceleration and uncertainty as inherent features of the neoliberal context of academia. This paper builds on Yijioki and Mantyli's categories of academic time to illustrate how the paid work.

What a way to end 2022!

Great to be presenting at this year's Social Media in Higher Education conference today at the Univeristy of Northampton.

A lot of thought on using social media effectively on higher education. I've come away with more ideas on engaging with my students in the new year!

Great catching up with colleagues & making new connections.

(An epic view too 👇🏻)

If you haven't already, would strongly recommend pinning an introductory toot to your profile. If you have particular images or video or audio you want to feature, they can be attached to pinned toots.

Also, pinned toots are automatically "backfilled" so you never have a blank profile on any server.

To add a pinned toot:

1. Log in with a third party app or through your server's website
2. Go to the toot you want to pin
3. Click ⋯ and "pin on profile"

You can also pin several toots at once!

Is Fats Week!

📸 Swipe for photos ➡️

In this session my students created TWO high fat bakes & dessert, aka, brownies & ice-cream (we made it by hand without a machine!)

I'm super proud of my class!👏🏻

Word of the day is ‘matutolypea’ [mah-tu-toh-lip-ee-ah]: extreme grumpiness in the morning.

From Latin and Greek, ‘suffering of the dawn’.

So I've been on #mastodon for a week now.

Mastodon is very much like #twitter. It's got more characters per post (hurrah!), but still somewhat a bit clunky & slow. I guess this will improve over time.

Otherwise, still on both #socialmedia channels to connect with people in #nutrition #science & #pedagogy in #highereducation 👋🏻
