About Critical Careers Network
Critical Careers Network (CCN) is a new international and interdisciplinary network for those who are interested in researching careers critically and also developing their own or others' careers differently from established mainstream norms. By 'critical' we mean questioning career performativity, functionalism, managerialism, linearity, and individualism, as well as other career norms. The purpose of CCN is to foster collaboration in critical career research and education, and to act as a forum to support career development for those who do not identify with expected career conventions. CCN is open to all academics, activists, and practitioners interested in critical approaches to careers. We expect the network to initially meet online on a quarterly basis but also that its remit and activities grow as the network develops according to the needs and interests of its members.
