Abstract

To close this work, we provide an epilogue that looks towards the implications of academic identities research in university contexts internationally. As is customary in an epilogue, here we take stock of the contributions to this volume, and offer comment about what might be ahead for those who remain concerned about, and interested in, the state of academic identities and its attendant practices, research and scholarship. In our title we suggested that being an academic in the contemporary university could be thought about as ‘uneasy’ work.
