Toxic Academic Work Environments

Bullying in the academy has been receiving a lot of attention lately from those of us who often have to teach professors how to "play well with others."  Just last week, the POD (Professional and Organizational Development in Higher Education) listserv was alive with conversation about how to handle students who bully professors.

Both Meggin and I have had to deal with toxic work environments and so we decided that we should address this issue.  Today's podcast is the first in a series of podcasts on surviving the toxic academic environment.
