(Episode 157) The Gentle Academic: Reimagining Research Culture
Episode 157
Wednesday, 29 April, 2026
If you asked an academic to describe the culture in which they work, 'gentle' is not a word that most would use. But what if academia could be gentler? What would this look like, and how can we get there?In today's episode, host Taryn Bell is joined by Christine Grove, co-editor of the recent volume 'The Gentle Academic'. They discuss what gentle academia is, what it's not, and how both individuals and academics can become 'gentler' in their ways of working. Far from offering 'lip service' to the idea of culture change, The Gentle Academic offers actionable insights for both individuals and the institutions they work within.Want to learn more?Read The Gentle Academic: Reimagining the Contemporary University Culture with Principles of Community, Leadership, and CareGet in touch with Christine via LinkedIn or her RMIT and Monash webpages, or with her co-editor, Kelly-Ann AllenIf you have enjoyed listening to this episode, please consider leaving a review on your favourite podcast app, via Podchaser, or by submitting an online review form.✍ Podchaser✍ Online Review FormAll of our episodes can be accessed via the following playlists:Research Impact with Ged Hall (follow Ged on Bluesky and LinkedIn)Research Impact Heroes with Ged HallOpen Research with Nick Sheppard (follow Nick on Bluesky and LinkedIn)Research Careers with Ruth Winden (follow Ruth on Bluesky and LinkedIn)Research talent managementMeet the Research Culturositists with Emma Spary (follow Emma on Bluesky and LinkedIn)Research co-productionResearch evaluationResearch leadershipResearch professionalsAcademic failure with Taryn Bell (follow Taryn on Bluesky and LinkedIn)Follow us on Bluesky: @researcherdevleeds.bsky.social (new episodes are announced here), @openresleeds.bsky.social, @researchcultureuol.bsky.socialConnect to us on LinkedIn: @ResearchUncoveredPodcast (new episodes are announced here too).If you would like to contribute to a podcast episode get in touch: researcherdevelopment@leeds.ac.uk
