As academics, we often encounter situations where our ideals conflict with the incentive structures of academia. Navigating these challenges while staying true to our values—both as individuals and as scientists—can be daunting. These conflicts may range from career-defining decisions to moments of self-censorship on academic social media platforms and everything in between.
This unconference provides a space to openly and respectfully explore these issues. While individuals may differ on what constitutes the "right" course of action in specific cases, the goal is to focus on the "how" and the "why" of maintaining both personal and academic integrity, even when incentive structures seem misaligned.
Suggested discussion topics might include, but will not be limited to: university policy, manuscript review, academic social media conflict, getting along with colleagues, unreasonable demands of higher-end journals, publication of replication of null results, dissertation or tenure requirements, etc.
