152: Everything You Learned About Academic Writing is Wrong


Listen Later

Have you ever felt like you missed out on some key piece of the writing process? Like everyone around you somehow learned something that you just totally missed? 

Everything you learned is wrong… And it's not your fault. 

It's the fault of how we are socialized inside of academia, how we learn from example, in situations that aren't the most ideal for learning how to write.

In Episode 152 I'm digging into 5 things that you learned about academic writing that are wrong, and what you can do to fix them. You'll hear about how you can adjust your methodology, insecurities, schedule, alignment, and more. Cathy shares examples from her own career along with insight she shares with her students in Scholar's Voice to offer wisdom to academics in all stages on how to best approach their writing as they juggle professorial duties as well. 

Join our Pilot Navigate Program: We are going to offer Navigate as a 12-week program to test out some changes we are considering making. It will run from February 2023- Mid-May 2023. In addition to our core Navigate curriculum, which we are reorganizing, reordering, and revising for this pilot version, what we're looking for is 10 to 20 academics who want to do this new pilot version of Navigate.  There will be more details to come on this in the coming weeks, so make sure you're on our email list to get all the details first!

For full show notes, visit scholarsvoice.org. (New website coming soon!)
