We're so used to this, but I would like academics to take a moment and look at how much of the official and unofficial discussion around university is about despair, imposter syndrome, stress, harassment, etc.

What I often see in these discussions, especially the official ones, is discussion of coping mechanisms and "self-care".

What I rarely see in these discussions is questioning why we've built an education system that treats people this way in exchange for this education. @academicchatter

Call me a curmudgeon here, but it seems to me that many colleagues can cut out a lot of stress by not taking on the roles of parent, therapist, and life coach to their students.

I was thinking mostly of instructors of undergrads who do things like contact students whenever they miss a test or revamp the curriculum whenever they don't want to do the reading. It's a "students can do no wrong" attitude that's more common in the humanities, and it seems that the people who mollycoddle the most are usually the ones complaining about stress in academia.

Lucky me, one of the article projects I've "been meaning to get back to" is from 2019 and discusses both abortion and antisemitism. 🤷

A colleague of mine desperately needs someone to explain to him that the "assume you didn't get the job" mind trick is supposed to relieve anxiety, not be the depressive pole of it.

View into the pit, showing a sandstone platform atop which sits the pedestal, which is carved with human figures and faces all around.
Straight-on view of one side of the pedestal, showing a carving of a group of full human figures standing side-by-side across a top section, and the section below it has carvings of smaller human figures and more numerous human heads in rows.
