This Spotlight highlights the things I’ve written about confidence with a focus on reframing what it is, and helping you understand the ways in which the structural conditions of your work and life affect your ability to feel confident. There are also practical suggestions for helping you feel confident enough to do the work you want and need to do. Unsurprisingly, perhaps, this Spotlight has direct connections to several of the other Spotlights, which you might want to explore further depending on which aspects resonate with you today.Read the post here: https://jovanevery.co.uk/spotlight-on-confidence/For more content like this, sign up to the monthly newsletter: jovanevery.co.uk/newsletterOr join the Academic Writing Studio: academicwritingstudio.co.uk Support me on KoFi here: https://ko-fi.com/jovanevery Find me on Linked In here: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jovanevery/ Or follow along on Facebook here: facebook.com/JoVEAcademicCareerCoach I'm on Twitter/X here, but less often: twitter.com/JoVanEvery

In this track Jamie Pei proposes a different way of thinking about what it means to act confident. One that might be more accessible to those who are introverted and/or from traditionally marginalized groups.Read the post here: https://jovanevery.co.uk/confidence-ease/For more content like this, sign up to the monthly newsletter: jovanevery.co.uk/newsletterOr join the Academic Writing Studio: academicwritingstudio.co.uk Support me on KoFi here: https://ko-fi.com/jovanevery Find me on Linked In here: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jovanevery/ Or follow along on Facebook here: facebook.com/JoVEAcademicCareerCoach I'm on Twitter/X here, but less often: twitter.com/JoVanEvery

If you are "very tempted to write the following as my conclusion: I wrote, I argued, it has finished. You can stop reading now. Thank you." this track will provide a perspective that might help. Thinking about the ways academics read articles, especially when overwhelmed, can give you a way into what is otherwise a legitimately frustrating part of the process. Refers to my books:The Scholarly Writing Process (A Short Guide)Peer Review (A Short Guide)And Raul Pacheco-Vega's blog post “Finding the most relevant information in a paper when reading: A three-step method (the AIC technique)” http://www.raulpacheco.org/2017/01/finding-the-most-relevant-information-in-a-paper-when-reading-a-three-step-method/Read the post here: https://jovanevery.co.uk/writing-conclusions/For more content like this, sign up to the monthly newsletter: https://jovanevery.co.uk/newsletterOr join the Academic Writing Studio: https://academicwritingstudio.co.uk Support me on KoFi here: https://ko-fi.com/jovanevery Find me on Linked In here: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jovanevery/ Or follow along on Facebook here: facebook.com/JoVEAcademicCareerCoach I'm on Twitter/X here, but less often: twitter.com/JoVanEvery

Using the recent publication of Jesse Stommel's book: "Undoing the Grade" as a jumping off point, I consider how those who have done well in academia, and gone on to become academics, have also been harmed by grades. The specific focus is on peer review, an editorial practice based in ideals of communities of scholars collectively producing knowledge. Referred to in the track:• Jesse Stommel https://hybridpedagogy.org/undoing-the-grade/• Sean Michael Morris https://www.seanmichaelmorris.com/the-end-of-grades-an-afterword-to-undoing-the-grade/• Melissa Dalgliesh https://hookandeye.ca/2017/04/06/learning-to-love-being-edited/My book and course can be found here: Peer Review (A Short Guide) https://jovanevery.co.uk/books/peer-reviewDealing With Reviewer Comments - Live Class https://academicwritingstudio.co.uk/dealing-with-reviewer-comments/Read the post here: https://jovanevery.co.uk/how-grading-has-ruined-peer-review/For more content like this, sign up to the monthly newsletter: https://jovanevery.co.uk/newsletterOr join the Academic Writing Studio: https://academicwritingstudio.co.uk Support me on KoFi here: https://ko-fi.com/jovanevery Find me on Linked In here: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jovanevery/ Or follow along on Facebook here: https://facebook.com/JoVEAcademicCareerCoach I'm on Twitter/X here, but less often: https://twitter.com/JoVanEvery

For most academics planning December is different from planning other months. This track provides practical tips for juggling rest, enjoying the holiday, and getting back into your writing.
