In this episode, guest host Shannon Giannitsopoulou interviews the producers and hosts of Talking Precarity, Zoë Newman and Vannina Sztainbok. They discuss the origins and intent of this show and how they understand academic precarity. In the process they make links between precarity and the repression of solidarity, particularly solidarity with Palestine.

This segment was recorded back in 2024 so there are aspects that are dated. There’s a lesson about precarity in this delay–unpredictability goes hand in hand with precarious work conditions. It can mean never turning down extra work, or going on strike, or spending a lot of time on job applications. And we often end up having to set aside other projects that don’t earn us an income!
