In the current academic realm, we are set at each other’s throats along too many axes and expected to treat the internal competition as laudatory. Solutions to these problems are extremely unlikely to come from government or managerial interference. Instead, what is needed is a sea change in day-to-day academic life, in which we replace relentless individual striving with a focus on collective action and collegial solutions to academic problems.
