from The Academic Edge · host Dr Melanie Smith
In this podcast, I talk about the prevalent teaching versus research dichotomy in academia, emphasizing the detrimental mindset that separates the two. I argue that this division creates barriers to academic success and fosters resentment among faculty. Being a great teacher and great researcher are not mutually exclusive. If you want help structuring your academic worklife so you can do both, it all starts with becoming a more efficient and effective writer.That's exactly what I help with inside my Academic Writer's Collective.
