“…A study from California State University investigating professors engaged in mentoring found long-term career benefits to mentors engaged in these relationships. The study measured both qualitative (e.g., career satisfaction) and quantitative benefits (e.g., achievement of career milestones) . According to my own experience mentoring employees, in the companies where I have worked and in the science community where I volunteer, mentorship is a win–win proposition also having significant benefits to the mentor.…”

“…In response to the other crises at hand, academia should similarly mobilise itself. Working in packs has never been more imperative (Greene et al, 2008;Heffernan, 2021), especially for both mentees and mentors who aspire to thrive beyond tenure (Boeder et al, 2021). This approach involves not merely fading away from the grid but intentionally and subversively operating outside it, utilising speed and remaining undistracted by forces imposed by the plane of organisation, which ultimately seeks to re-establish control and impose a new grid (Rolfe, 2012).…”

Under the influence of neoliberalism, academic work faces mounting pressure to align with imperatives of visibility and perceptibility. Traditionally criticised for working in isolated ‘ivory towers’, academics are now compelled to showcase the societal value of their work through performance metrics and evaluations. Paradoxically, these efforts have unintentionally led to the rigidification and commodification of academic work, stifling the production of knowledge beyond predefined parameters. In this paper, we contend that academics should resist the imposition of this neoliberal ‘grid’ and instead seek a path of ‘becoming‐imperceptible’, drawing inspiration from the insights of Deleuze and Guattari. Becoming‐imperceptible does not entail silent disengagement; rather, it represents a creative form of resistance challenging prevailing modes of assessment rooted in visibility and perceptibility. By incorporating the concept of ‘fast feminism’ to subvert Paul Virilio's hypermasculine speed theory, we uncover the transformative potential of temporary absences. Leveraging these moments of absence, academics can intensify their affective connections with both their peers and their work, making them undiscernible to the confines of the academic establishment. We argue that these instances of imperceptibility create fertile ground for creative and inventive academic endeavours on the margins of established boundaries, where original scholarship can flourish. Such a subversive approach is particularly relevant in fields like nursing and the health sciences, where it can challenge the dominant discourses that typify neoliberal academia.
