This is the end of the current season of episodes. I take the opportunity to shortly reflect on the themes we’ve heard - around listening, leadership, wellbeing, peer review, and research excellence and evaluation. I also invite you to share your feedback and suggestions, and I share some of the various transitions happening over the break, all leading up to the next season starting Sept/Oct 2023.

If you missed any episodes from this season, you can find them all on your favourite podcast app where you subscribe to this or go to the Changing Academic Life podcast page.

I’d also really love to hear from you if you have any feedback generally about what works well, what doesn’t work so well with the podcasts for you, any suggestions for future themes or people you’d like me to talk with, or if you’d like to volunteer to help out with a transcription. You can contact me via the contact form here or via my uni account (email on this page).
