Episode 055: Erin Twyford

‍ ‍What does it mean to be a critical scholar in an academy obsessed with metrics?In this episode of Podcast or Perish, I talk with Dr. Erin Twyford, Senior Lecture in Accounting at the University of Wollongong. She describes her experience of a recent academic conference as a "fever dream." She sees her academic role as profoundly relational - to her family, to her colleagues, to her students, and to the Indigenous country on which she lives. She talks about finding hope as an academic despite pushing the mythical boulder of Sisyphus up the hill every day.***Full transcript, photos, and related resources:https://www.podcastorperish.ca/episodes/episode-055-erin-twyford***Podcast or Perish is about academic research and why it matters.
