My other thought for the day is: are we happy with the term ECR? I& #39;m thinking that it may undermine us. It is applied to scholars who have years and years of experience, brilliant teaching, wonderful publications, some of the most innovative engagement work.
We know that labels have a lot of power. If this was a historical term, what would we think of it? I think that it has built great communities of solidarity, which I love.
But then also does it justify low pay and precarious conditions to an extent, because it& #39;s & #39;early career& #39; so thus seen as a brief and transient phase of sacrifice? Is that okay?
