About this Session

Academia runs on brilliance, but the culture can wear you down a hundred small ways: talked over in meetings, cut down by people who don't even notice they're doing it, slowly making yourself smaller to keep the peace. This is a working hour to change that. We'll build your armor: real tools to protect your presence and your peace, hold a boundary without apologizing for it, and take up the space you've earned.

For faculty, researchers, and staff -- especially the introverts and the quietly brilliant -- who are tired of being talked over, cut down, or worn thin.
