We are the Grateful Academic Project. At some point in our careers we have received help and support from different people. This ranges from small acts of kindness such as acknowledging a job well done through to big things that have made a significant difference to our careers or to us as people.
Some of these go unacknowledged and we wanted to create a space to address this gap, a place where people could share their tales of being on the receiving end of kindness within the academic systems. We also hoped that reading these accounts would inspire people – sometimes you need to see what can help to know what you could do to help.
