My response to the LinkedIn campaign, “How do you combine research and teaching in higher education?”, “Powered by AI and the LinkedIn community”.
I combine research and teaching in higher education by being personal. And it seems as if that is difficult for many to understand, but understood by billions of persons who have had enough of the game-playing. In many ways populism can be misguided but the personalism is not, and resistance to the personal is a political game to endeavour preventing the challenge to the game itself. The personal has an important place in professional life. It is also central to higher education, and also professional history.
I have already experienced backlash in my industry of professional history for my research and expression of personalism. I received a high-level complaint that I “[‘you’] appear to use it [social media] as a personal platform to vent about issues that concern you”. Nevertheless, I had feedback from historians, sociologists, and geographers, well under-employed who support me in bringing the painful, personable, experience to endure in the research of professional life. Furthermore, I have no complaints from the Australian Historical Association, where academics also truly know the personal cost of the game.
