Dear Young Professor

If you're a young assistant professor (or planning to be one), you already know — or are about to find out — it’s a lot.

Teaching hours, prep work, student expectations, admin pressure... all while managing your own inner world.

This session is a pause button.

A space to talk about:

• Impostor feelings
• Finding your voice in class
• Balancing prep, research, and real life
• UGC/PhD/MPhil pressure
• Or even — “Am I cut out for this?”

It’s not about textbook answers. It’s lived-experience support.

Whether you're struggling quietly, or simply curious to hear what the role really feels like — this is your space.

Sometimes, you just need someone who’s been there.

That’s me.
