The study focuses on professional identity, institutional governance, and how external changes are interpreted at the level of everyday academic work. This study builds on my broader research agenda focused on the dignity of work and the structures that support workers, especially in socially oriented sectors, like education and healthcare.</p> <p><strong>Purpose and Goals</strong></p> <ul> <li>Document how lecturers and professors (all ranks) experience and respond to shifts in the perception of their disciplines.</li> <li>Explore how institutional structures (e.g., shared governance, union representation) interact with faculty voice and dignity of work.</li> <li>Identify themes and patterns to inform potential future inquiry into institutional documents and decision-making processes (e.g., committees).</li> </ul> </div> </div> </div> <div class="field--item"> <div class="pl-component pl-component--button"> <a class="btn btn-secondary" href="https://sfsu.app.box.com/v/researchbriefAM">Full Project Brief</a> </div> </div> <div class="field--item"> <div class="paragraph paragraph--type--basic-image paragraph--view-mode--default"> <div class="field field--name-field-p-image field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden field--item"><img class="pl-component pl-component--img img-responsive img-default" src="/sites/default/files/images/AM_Research_Call_Socials.png" alt="Illustrated poster with silhouettes of diverse workers in profile along the left side, in various colors and headwear representing different professions.
