221: Career Stage 3: Planting Your Flag

Welcome to episode three of my podcast series, The Real Stages of the Academic Career. Today, I am discussing the 'Planting Your Flag' stage closely linked to tenure.

Planting Your Flag is a crucial stage because it revolves around declaring your academic mission and showing why you're indispensable to your institution. This stage can be high-stakes and nerve-wracking, but it's also empowering as you refine the articulation of your work and academic voice.

In this episode, I advise how to approach different aspects of academia, such as writing, research, and time management, in the Plant Your Flag career stage. I also discuss what relationships should look like and ways to shift partnership dynamics that no longer contribute to your growth.

Remember to tune in next week as I unveil the next academic career stage: 'Building Your Legacy.'
