Abstract

In this penultimate chapter, we link the key themes on academic resilience to the changing context of the academic workforce around the world. We provide provocations for individual academics and institutional leaders to reflect on the complexities of the academic landscape and academic identity regardless of contexts and adversities. We include in this chapter powerful reflections for academics and institutions to build academic resilience by tapping into structural or institutional resources, collective solidarities, and personal resources. By offering these reflections, we hope our readers – individuals and institutions – will reflect on strategies to navigate the changing and unstable terrains of academia.
