Description

When looking to pursue a scholarly career in international studies, one crucial question is: how? How do you decide where you want to live? How do you determine what you’ll study? Teach? How do you think about what the job is and what it entails? 

How do you remain a whole person in a job that can demand ever-increasing amounts of your time?

Hosted by aspiring academic Rebekah Pullen (Season 1), this series of interviews will look at ‘how’ people have built and managed careers in academia, exploring some of the potentials, pitfalls, and positives. Aimed at early career scholars (graduate students, post-doctoral fellows and ECRs) our guests share the lessons they've learned, the advice they've been given, and the successes that have shaped their careers. This podcast is produced with support from ISA Canada, through their Professional Development Committee; and we focus on Canadian academics in international studies - but there is certainly something for everyone, whatever your career stage, discipline, or research.

Join us for Season 1, and check out what we think is key to Acting Like a Doctor.
