Webinar Details
We present findings from our project “The Precarity Penalty: The life-long effects of Precarious work on higher education workers’ lives, careers and well-being”. The study builds on our previous research on academic precarity in Ireland (Courtois and O’Keefe,2015; O’Keefe and Courtois, 2019) and uses life-course analysis to focus more specifically on those who have experienced long-term exclusion from secure, meaningful work in the higher education sector. Examining the various dimensions of the ‘precarity penalty’ on these workers’ careers, lives and health, we build a picture of the multi-faceted impact of precarious academic work.
This webinar will take place online on 29th November at 1pm.
