Academic Writing Amplified

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.

Want to hear firsthand from someone who's been on the inside? Elevate graduate Lauren Braun-Strumfels is sharing her amazing story on this episode of the podcast. Her journey has been full of ups and downs, twists and turns. It's taken her from Fulbright scholar in Rome at the very beginning of the pandemic, to lockdowns and virtual classrooms, and from no publications to journal articles, book contracts, and a vibrant pipeline. Lauren shares how she navigated loss and grief through community, came back to her writing and herself little by little and created sustainable systems for huge publishing success. We also talk about how a harsh peer reviewer paused her book process, and how coaching through Elevate helped her galvanize her message and navigate through that situation. Our Elevate program is open for Enrollment! Elevate is a coaching program for mid-career scholars to help you 'up-level your post-tenure career'. We want to know what you're feeling and experiencing in your mid-career journey and would love to guide you through it all.
