It sure feels like we're living through an academic "quitting" moment, with social media abounding with tales of folks departing universities for greener professional pastures. What's going on?! In this episode Dani, Levi, and Rachel try to find out. Joined by three academic "upgraders", Frances Darlington-Pollock, Carson Farmer, Seth Spielman, who share a bit of their professional journeys and their reasons for shifting out of academia and into other sorts of roles, we explore the extent to which the “golden ring” of an academic job has become tarnished, what makes folks leave, and where exactly they’re going to when they do.
