Ý kiến cho rằng nhiều người làm nghiên cứu tự quảng cáo và khoe khoang quá đà.
“But a quick look at the social media accounts of many established—and tenured—academics reveals that such empathy is in short supply. Proliferating on the social media landscape are variations on “I know it’s a really weird time, but I just got promoted/won my umpteenth award/received a disgustingly massive grant!” I was shocked recently to see one scholar upload a letter from a tenure-review committee (a practice I find distasteful even under normal circumstances) announcing a successful promotion. Wondering if it was just yours truly who found this behavior stunningly tone-deaf, I asked a number of friends and colleagues if they were seeing the same thing in their feeds and social media accounts. The answer was a unanimous yes.
Don’t get me wrong: it’s fine to share and celebrate your accomplishments and milestones in responsible ways. But in the current context of deep pain in the academic profession, let me put in a plea: if things are going well for you, exhibit some old-fashioned restraint and enjoy your success quietly from time to time. You don’t need to trumpet every single successfully completed task, conference presentation and financial windfall to the world, especially if you are an established or tenured scholar. Many forms of self-promotion are genuinely shameless in certain contexts.
Rather, consider taking this moment as an opportunity to support and promote the work and accomplishments of everyone but yourself, and especially those who need it most: graduate students, recently minted Ph.D.s and colleagues in precarious employment situations. If you have had the good fortune to wind up in a secure and stable academic position, please keep in mind that many people out there need your support and advocacy much more than you do.”
