Episode 30: Dealing With Criticism in Academia
Update: 2025-08-18
Description
In this episode, Charlie is joined by special guest and academic history coach Nicholas Morton, Associate Professor in the School of Social Sciences at Nottingham Trent University (UK). Nic lends his insight into the process of dealing with criticism in academia. We discuss: 1) the places in which we often encounter criticism (including peer review of our publications, book reviews, and Q+A at conferences), 2) our strategies for how to cope with this criticism (including how to judge whether criticisms are valid or not and then how to draw up action plans), and 3) how to actually give criticism to others.
