Committee on Improvement of Academic Life (CIAL) - IAMCR

Membership: CIAL comprises these members: Chika Anyanwu (Chair); Eno Akpabio; SergioRicardo Quiroga; Tanya Bosch; Burçe Çelik; a nd Gerard Goggin (EB Liaison).

Precarity combines to deepen the oppression, injustice, and challenges arising from other longstanding and traditional forms of threats to academic life and freedom.

Such precarity especially affects emerging scholars, such as doctoral researchers, and those in the early stages of their careers. Precarity is also likely to be adversely amplified by other factors and situation of marginality, discrimination, and exclusion that be faced in relation to gender, sexuality, race, disability, rural location, religion, resources and income of the society, status, funding, and capacity of particular universities and programs.

Undertaken by the CIAL, the objectives of the project are to:
Inquire widely into the nature and conditions of precarity across the various countries, regions, and settings of media and communication research, scholarship, and teaching;
Explore and identify the specific forms and implications of precarity for media and communications researchers;
Document and identify responses to precarity around the world, developed by: scholarly and professional associations; groups of scholars, intellectuals, and activists; trade unions; learned academics; peak bodies of humanities and social sciences faculties; international bodies;
Prepare and distribute a concise and accessible report documenting the findings;
Develop options, recommendations, and guidelines for discussion at IAMCR regarding responses and initiatives towards strengthening the conditions of academic life in the face of precarity;
Prepare a special issue of a journal based on the project.

The project is supported by a grant from IAMCR Committee & Task Force Fund (https://iamcr.org/news/precarious-life)

After a hiatus, CIAL has ‘re-booted’ its longstanding project on ‘Precarious Academic Life in the Media and Communications Field’, especially relevant at the present time of pandemic and its profound implications for the conditions of academic life and work, and the state of play and threats to academic and associated rights.We acknowledge that while our emphasis is on Media and communication disciplines, the ubiquitous nature of transdisciplinary engagement may include other research disciplines within the academy.
