Academic Writing Amplified

202: Victim vs. Agent In Academia


Listen Later

In today's episode, I'm serving up some tough love. Too many academics are drenched in victimhood, and in 2024, victimhood isn't the place to be!

So, I am exposing those negative thoughts that keep academics trapped in a victim mentality and sharing ways to transform them into empowering agentive beliefs. We only get to have one working life, and what a privilege it is to do something we are well educated for and enjoy. So, instead of wallowing in negativity and victimology, let's become agentive and create the career we desire.

Are you ready to sit in the driver's seat of your career and knock down obstacles to writing and publishing? Listen in to learn how to go from victim to agent in academia!
