Started in 2018, in a pre-apocalyptic hellscape of increasing workloads and diminishing budgets, “Surviving Academia” is the story of 3 academics (and their friends) just trying to make it all work. We are passionate about teaching, learning, research, service, and overall make the world a better place through our paths in higher education. But it’s hard, and we all need a little support and self-care from time to time, so we started a podcast to talk about how we and others are coping with the demands of the academy.
