Episode 6 / I Give Up!

You've probably heard it said that people who quit aren't driven, determined or committed. But is it true? Is giving up the same as giving up in all circumstances? Or could it be more of a course adjustment? Today, in our last conversation of the season, we'll talk about the quits that run through our lives. So, if you've ever felt bad about throwing in the towel or just thinking about it, listen to “I quit!” before you decide if you're going to reach for that towel again.

Episode 5 / Academic Writing

We're sure that, at some point, you asked for divine help in dealing with something that surrounds the life of every undergraduate or graduate student.... the dreaded academic writing! This happens because, even though someone in academia knows how to write, academic writing has its own challenges and generates specific fears and concerns, which we are not usually taught to deal with. If you identify with this, stick with us - this conversation will give you some good ideas!

Episode 4 / Community: one swallow does not make a summer, but can it do research?

Most people in undergraduate courses have found themselves struggling to learn a subject alone, right? And in graduate school, it's even worse! But does it always have to be like this? Or can sharing knowledge be beneficial? Today we're going to talk about the loneliness of an academic career, its potential drawbacks, and alternatives to overcome it. One swallow doesn't make a summer, and we believe that research doesn't either.

Episode 3 / Violence at the university

Sometimes we want to believe that university is a place free from many of the problems of our society, right? But we know that this is not the case. Violence is one of those problems that impacts people in academia in different ways, but often in a very striking way. Today we are going to have this difficult but very important conversation to reflect on how we can stop reproducing violence and how to support those who suffer from it. Let's think about this?

Episode 1 / The unspoken rules of university

How do I sign up for this course? Who should I talk to? Where can I find information about classes, projects, and writing rules? After all, should I ask to go to the bathroom or not? The academic community is full of rules that are not stated, but that will be imposed upon you as soon as you arrive. And how do you deal with all of this? In this very first episode, we will talk a little about the new things we encounter when we enter university and how to deal with them!
