Work pressure & well-being
As of 2024, the projects ‘Work pressure’ and ‘Social Safety’ are merged into the project ‘Work pressure and Well-being’.
In the upcoming period, the team members aim to identify and address early career researchers’ (i.e. postdocs, assistant professors and associate professors) needs related to the experience of work pressure and wellbeing within UM.
Specific plans are to organise a series of events related to ‘Speaking Up’ and to launch a blog-type series in which early-career academics share what their typical day or work week looks like. Additionally, MYA intends to collaborate with the UM colleagues who are conducting the Sustainable Employability Monitor.
The Maastricht Young Academy (MYA) work pressure & well-being project is led by Boukje Compen with the team of Anna Schüth, Bram Fleuren, Irina Nikolova and Therese Grohnert.
MYA book club: Complaint! by Sara Ahmed
MYA, together with the Diversity & Inclusivity (D&I) Office and the Jan van Eyck Academie, organised a book club on Sarah Ahmed’s Complaint!
This book club was open to all students and employees of UM as well as to participants of the Jan van Eyck Academie.
We provided a nice lunch as we discussed excerpts from Ahmed’s book during lunchtime in a series of three sessions.
