Episode Details

Sometimes the things happening in the world can make you feel like your scholarly work is irrelevant. (It's not, as I've explained in more detail in “Being an academic in dystopian times: Valuing your academic work”.) The impulse to change your research focus to something relevant is understandable. In this track I explain why it's probably unnecessary. See "Shifting priorities within your research program during the pandemic or other crisis" for thoughts on smaller changes that might be reasonable.Read the post here: https://jovanevery.co.uk/dont-change-your-research-focus/For more content like this, sign up to the monthly newsletter: jovanevery.co.uk/newsletterFollow me on Twitter: twitter.com/JoVanEveryFind my Facebook Page here: facebook.com/JoVEAcademicCareerCoach Join the Academic Writing Studio: academicwritingstudio.co.uk
