How Academia Messes with your Mind (and what to do about it)
Whether you’re a graduate student just starting out, a postdoc, an adjunct instructor, or someone who’s been a professor for a while, you’ll want to attend this thought-provoking and information-packed teleclass.
Although working within any large organization can be challenging, there is something in particular about academia that can play havoc with your self esteem, your sense of self-efficacy, and your sanity in general.
That's why it's important for you to:- Be aware of the myriad ways that the academic system may be negatively affecting you
- Know what to do about it, so that you can thrive and enjoy your academic life.
- The intimidation factor
- The hierarchy of academia
- Lack of adequate mentoring
- Mixed messages
- The missing road map
- Focus on content at the expense of process
- Guilt about having a balanced life, especially for women
Finally, I will suggest steps that you can take to ensure that you don’t fall prey to the subtle and insidious negative messages that the academic environment can put forth.
