DESCRIPTION:Creating space for First-gen/BIPOC/Jewish/Migrant Early Caree
 r Researchers\n\nEarly Career Researchers (ECRs) who are part of socially 
 marginalized groups have been identified as particularly vulnerable to the
  logics of the neoliberal university as they additionally face discriminat
 ion. The three-day retreat invites ECRs who identify as first generation 
 academics and/or Black/Indigenous/People of Colour/Jewish/Migrants to co-c
 reate a transformative space where participants can openly talk about thei
 r experiences\, debate institutional politics\, foster solidarity\, and bu
 ild mentoring relationships. \n \nCollectively\, we will identify system
 ic obstacles\, which should be addressed institutionally so that inequali
 ties and precarity in Swiss academia can be combated.\n \nYou can partici
 pate if you are a PhD student or postdoc affiliated with a Swiss academic 
 institution\, and self-identify as first-generation academics and/or BIPOC
 /Jewish/Migrant.\nThe participation will be free of charge and accommodati
 on and travel will be provided. Although the main language of the retreat 
 will be English\, we do not expect a perfect mastery of English\, and ad h
 oc support will be provided.\n \nThe retreat will be facilitated by a wid
 e range of experts\, including senior scholars and academia-adjacent profe
 ssionals from different disciplines who themselves identify as first-gene
 ration and/or BIPOC/Jewish/Migrant.\n \nIf you are interested\, please si
 gn up at https://forms.gle/Qe3Adg7VqXr3x95P9. (deadline July 15)
