In this episode we talk about the messiness of academic career trajectories. IOE Director and Dean Professor Li Wei shares his own path into academia, and his vision for staff at IOE. Dr Emma Jones joins the episode to talk about how the Early Career Network was set up and how it has developed over time at IOE.

Finally our guests discuss career precarity and progression, the recent wider conversations around pensions and set them in wider issues of intergenerational justice. Is it ever too early to think about retirement, and what support is out there that can help right now?
