Academic emotions. A weird phrase. A paradox? A contradiction? The Post this week explores academic emotions and their role, function and place in a scholarly life (or not!)... youtube.com/watch?v=yRq-10…

Thank you for this lovely reminder of one of my fav articles for the Times Higher Education. Steve died 10 years after I wrote this. Almost to the day. But I'm still on my way home... Respects to you, Mark. timeshighereducation.com/news/something…

Certain phrases are weird. But also damaging. One of those phrases is 'Lean in.' The Post this week probes this phrase and its history, exploring how damaging it can be in education and the wider workforce... youtu.be/aFtpERWzLN4

The pathway from a PhD to a postdoc is increasingly complex. How do we move from passion to traction? With Jamie Quinton - let's talk about the skills that are necessary for that movement. youtube.com/watch?v=2IMBsA…

Strange phrases are used 'at' us. These included 'managing up.' I was asked to explore the use of that dod-gee phrase in doctoral education. Here we go! New Post - youtube.com/watch?v=9_DgVB…

Strange times. 'Self help' is even stranger in these times. Let's enter The 'Let Them' Theory vista from Mel Robbins. It is not a theory. It's a vibe. Why does this book exist? What do we learn from our time that it is published and read? New post - youtube.com/watch?v=hCjZAn…

Certain people are courageous in their own time, but forgotten in ours... In the Post this week, let's remember Alexandra Kollontai. Radical. Intelligent. Transformative. Forgotten ... youtube.com/watch?v=137e-I…

Happy Valentine's Day. I summon and value the people who have lost a great love and are alone. I summon and value the people who have cared for and buried a great love. I summon and value the people who found love (again), and appreciate the gift of that love - like blood in

The PhD is diversifying. In modes of enrolment. In the balance between part-time and full-time enrolments. This week's Post talks about the powerful diversity in the part-time PhD, which is transforming knowledge and lives. #phdchat - youtu.be/NXlY6YNAbVY

Career planning. Career change. Controlling what we can control. This week, let's get organized to create choices about jobs, positions and roles. New Post - youtu.be/_BJ41th4CVg

Yes colleagues, we continue the series - job searches during the zombie apocalypse... Well, that's my title ;) This week, we talk about the job search and how to configure applications, in tough times... youtu.be/b5pNHxiI4Cs

OK - let's enter the weird, inflated and baggy space between your application and an interview. Let's talk about screening systems, odd testing protocols and 'longlisting' (!!!!). New post - youtu.be/7pH-F1IAzL4

Interviews are changing. Radically. This week - we talk about interviews, including the proliferation of online interviews and the four types of questions: behavioural, opinion, personal and technical. Here we go - youtu.be/dG_0L-0w3Jg

Weird stuff is happening in appointment processes. This week, we talk about the truly bonkers 'events' that happen around interviews. I create a taxonomy to enable us to understand. Interpret. Gather information. Make decisions. youtu.be/w-hxL3SO2ww

We are in the weird / strange / fun / zone once more. The interview process is 'over.' But it is not over. Weird stuff follows you home... What do you do with these final stages of a (post)interview? How do we double tap that zombie??!!! youtu.be/mlHXhvd-ZOY

It is decision time. The job offer has arrived. What happens now? We are flattered. We are relieved. But what is next? How do we make a meaningful and informed choice? Let's do it... youtu.be/o64rwDQ0xsA

Sally you remain a great inspiration to me. Your grit. Your determination. Your brilliance. Together - we continue to walk. Biggest Antipodal hug :) txxx

You got that job. Fab. What happens now? The difference between a great job and a toxic, bullying disaster can be weeks, or days. At the end of the 'application to appointment' series, let's finish with the development of Plan Bs. Let's locate exits: youtu.be/GA-BLk8cCUY

Care. Compassion. Citizenship. Important words in tough times. For Post 90 - we explore the life, research, teaching and career of a man who has changed the world, punctuated by these words. Professor Yusef Waghid. A transformative scholar. youtu.be/uZQyFqTl4yQ

In tough times, it is difficult to evaluate competence. And incompetence. Let's summon a 26-year old article about incompetence, and track how it has been used, framed and reshaped for our different (!!!) times... New Post - youtu.be/Psz20vtSVVA
