One of its objectives is to create an Observatory of academic precarity. This will be designed as a platform for conversations on the experiences, meanings, and tensions of academic precarity in different national, regional or international contexts of the anthropological associations. The topics of ethics of research, hiring and autorship as well as the cyclical short-term logic of academic research will be equally addressed. More than ever, there is an urgent need to envision concrete action, on both political and institutional levels, in response to a pervasive process of precarization and to take concrete measures to put an end to this process. In order to create synergies, the Task Force will actively collaborate with national and regional associations, as well as collectives, in the systematization of data, promotion of public debates and sharing of experiences.
