高等教育报纸和社交媒体平台最近的报道表明，慢性病，疾病和残疾在学术界变得更加突出。资金结构的变化，高等教育的全球化，市场化和官僚化导致了一个以绩效为导向的工作环境，由于教学和研究的卓越实践，教学工作量和出版压力进一步加剧。结果是士气低落，学术界报告的心理健康问题、倦怠和与压力有关的疾病数量不断增加。本文探讨了其中一些问题的背景下，在英国的高等教育机构。我们利用我们的研究和我们的经验，在学术界关于健全的发言者提供思考的食物，激发辩论和提高那些经历慢性疾病，残疾或神经多样性的学者的认识，他们的声音没有被听到。
Recent coverage in higher education newspapers and social media platforms implies that chronic conditions, illnesses and disabilities are becoming more prominent amongst academics. Changes to funding structures, increased globalisation, marketisation and bureaucratisation of higher education have resulted in a performance-driven working environment where teaching workload and pressures to publish are further intensified due to excellence exercises in teaching and research. The result is low morale and an ever-rising number of reported mental health issues, burnout and stress-related illnesses within academia. This article explores some of these issues in the context of higher education institutions in the United Kingdom. We draw on our research and our experiences as speakers regarding ableism in academia to provide food for thought, stimulate a debate and raise awareness of those academics experiencing chronic illness, disability or neurodiversity, whose voices are not heard.
