Digital Scholars in a Mobile World. Post-event report on a Symposium held at the University of Hull - Exploring work-life balance in increasingly mobile and digitised academic environments

Ploner, Josef; Gouseti, Anastasia

Abstract

The aim of this one-day symposium was to critically explore the largely under-researched links between mobility, technology and work/life balance in contemporary academic/Higher Education settings.
Contributions were provided both by emerging and established researchers who addressed these links from different disciplinary vantage points (Education, Sociology and Psychology) and from different professional and career-stage perspectives.
The symposium featured four 20-minutes ‘keynote’ papers covering the following topics: ‘Technology-mediated nomadicity and work-life balance in academic settings’ (Dr Fabiano Pinatti), ‘Digital practices, academic identity-building and work-life balance of Early Career Researchers’ (Dr Jude Fransman), ‘Conference time: academics aiming (not) to have been there’ (Dr Emily Henderson), as well as ‘Work-life balance and wellbeing in academics’ use of technology’ (Prof Gail Kinman).
