Academics need to embrace confrontation.
It is good. It tells us something important is at stake. It shows us where we can grow.
Dialogue & active listening will get us to the other side. Until then, we need confrontation.
Avoiding it only worsens matters 4 us all.

Donāt internalize your teaching evaluations.
Sometimes, students are frustrated with things beyond your control. They use the evaluation as a space to feel seen in an education system that rarely values their voice. I donāt blame them.
But, carry what is yours, not theirs.

Learn from the legitimate parts of their feedback. Acknowledge constraints they may not be able to understand. Grow where you can, but donāt shame yourself for evaluations that just arenāt fair.
Your teaching will not resonate with everyone. There is beauty in that.

As someone who finished grad school with no pubs in hand but doinā just fine now, I am compelled to remind grad students to only publish when they feel they have something meaningful to say. Donāt publish just to publish. Thereās too much tepid stuff out as is.
Take your time.

Learn the craft. Develop your ideas. Put them in convo with existing work. Donāt rush to coin a ānewā term just ācause. If you have a mentor to show you the publishing way, great! If not, thatās fine, but take your time and work to publish something meaningful to you and field.

āPublish or perishā as a culture is real indeed, but that doesnāt mean we must subscribe to it mindlessly and merely publish for quantityās sake.
The quality of the work is important too. The possibilities of its influence matter.
Take your time. Take your time.

A reminderā¦
Academic writing should make you āfeelā something.
Itās not drama. Itās not comedy.
But the literature should read well and excite your senses.
What questions did it spark? What connections did it inspire? Where did it lead your mind to wander & be curious?

Encourage your students, peers, & yourself to inject some life, character, & personality into our prose.
Donāt let your due diligence to the literature rob you of your voice/argument.
Donāt think mirroring senior folx is the only way to publish in āgoodā outlets.

Break the mould within reason. Say something meaningful. And strive for your peers to actually enjoy reading your work.
We been goinā through the motions as academic writers, yet we, the work, field, & public writ large deserve so much more.
Write with intention & zeal āš¾
