Why received academic stages fall short

The "received" stages of an academic career are very linear and do not capture the true responsibilities, workload, or goals within an academic career. I have worked with hundreds of women and nonbinary professors, so I have a unique perspective on the academic career–one built through observation of many different scholars in many different types of institutions. In today's episode, I explain the REAL stages of the academic career.

This episode is a re-release of episode 190 of the podcast and in this episode, tune in as I compare and contrast the received stages of an academic career to the real stages. My goal is to shift your perspective about how you think about your academic career. After this episode, I hope you can check in with yourself and see where you are in your academic career and where you want to go. From there, you can see what you can check off as already done and where you need to put more energy, focus, and development to have the academic career you desire.
