Time, Stress and Intellectual Engagement in Academic Work
This article is based on a pilot study that examines the effects of recent organizational and public policy changes on Canadian academics' work practices and academic culture.

It interprets the complex and often contradictory findings of the study through the lens of time theorization, and speculates about the broader cultural…

Moreover, these changes in practice are integral to reconstituting the temp…

Specifically, we argue that the ways in which academics have been defendin…
