How many requests to review article or book manuscripts do you receive on a regular basis? And do you have a process for deciding what you’ll take on in a given semester or academic year? In this 46th episode of the Rise with Clarity Podcast I want to talk a little bit about the pros and cons entailed in doing peer reviews. I hope that by addressing some of these dimensions that aren’t talked about so openly, you can start to make more informed and strategic decisions about whether or n...
What are your values when it comes to AI? And following up on that question, what are your pedagogical values when it comes to AI usage in the classroom?

In this 45th episode of the Rise with Clarity Podcast, I share 10 reflective questions that can help you to better assess what your pedagogical values are whe...

In this 43rd episode of the Rise with Clarity Podcast, I reflect on how being more strategic and intentional about how you approach your faculty duties c...

How do you mentor PhD students on a career pathway that’s very different from your own? What advice would you give to your students who are looking to leave higher ed, especially if you have never worked outside of academia? For many faculty, this situation can seem pretty daunting. In this 39th episode of the Rise with Clarity Podcast, I introduce you to a simple coaching tool called the GROW model that you can employ to help with mentoring your PhD students who are exploring non-acade...

How do you help PhD students who want to pursue a non-academic career after graduation? Some programs or departments have the expectation that their graduates will choose careers in diverse fields like industry, healthcare, government, the non-profit sector, or primary education. But there are lots of graduate programs out there that offer specific training for graduate students on how to enter the academy as a professor. This kind of training is not so ideal, however, for the man...
If someone were to ask you today about your core values, would you be able to articulate them out loud? Have you ever spent the time to think about your values, especially as they relate to your professional work? When I asked these questions to a former client of mine in our very first session, she was stumped. She was at a crossroads in her life, where she had essentially come to the decision to leave her job. But she was full of fear and unsure of what to do next. The only thing that...
How do you want to show up as a scholar right now? For those of you who are based in the United States, this is a question that you are already facing now or will in the near future. No matter which way you turn, you are likely to be impacted by this administration’s repressive actions. At the very least, you will be affected by the recent austerity measures that many university administrators are now implementing in response to attacks from the government and pressure from their boards. ...

Are you new to caring for an aging parent or parents? If so, I want you to let you know that I’m thinking of you and your loved one on this challenging journey. I started my own caregiving journey in quite an unexpected way, after my father had a serious and debilitating stroke over 2 years ago. For part of this time, I was a tenured faculty member, struggling to manage my professional duties with my new role as a caregiver and as a patient advocate. I felt like I was completely unprepared fo...

Many of us who are faculty who are in our 40s and 50s are part of what is called the “sandwich” generation. This means that some of us are providing care for both our aging parents as well as children while also trying to advance on the tenure track.

This will be the first in a series of episodes on the topic of caregiving. Find the full transcript for this ...

Given the ubiquity of recommendation letters in graduate school admissions processes, fellowship applications, job searches, and promotion cases—particularly in North America, it’s pretty wild that there isn’t more attention paid to this genre of writing. Why is it that faculty receive such little training on how to craft letters of recommendation? Especially when these letters can have a critical impact in an evaluation process? In this 29th episode of the Rise with Clarity Podca...

In this 27th episode of the Rise with Clarity Podcast, I’m going to be talking about applying for grants and fellowships as part of your life as an academic. And I wan...
