FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How many hours will I need to dedicate to this program?
On average, members of Navigate are able to add 2-4 hours of consistent writing per week AND avoid working on nights and weekends by getting out of putting-out-fires mode. (Oh, and I am vehemently against all that “wake up before your kids” advice #hellopatriarchy). You can expect to get that result from dedicating 60-90 minutes per week to participating in this program AND writing more.
Can anyone from any field of study benefit from Navigate?
The ableist racist patriarchy wants us to believe that we’re all sooooo different. And sometimes it really does feel like writing and publishing in different disciplines are completely different universes (academic party trick: ask an engineer and a historian how many pages a peer-reviewed article should be!).
But here’s a problem that we can agree on: we need to find time to write. Solving that problem is not field specific at. all. I’ve worked with hundreds of academic womxn and nonbinary professors in a multitude of disciplines and solving their writing and publishing problems boils down to the same set of systems (which, by the way, are exactly the systems I teach in this course).
What if I fall behind or can’t start the program on time?
You’ll be relieved to know that this program is NOT structured like a university course. In this program I had complete freedom as an instructor to create EXACTLY what I knew you needed. No minimum contact hours or credit hours x 1.5=office hours formulas here! So this program is delivered in easy-to-digest chunks made for people who need to stop and start and pick up where they left off. You get one year of access to the program so there is no behind (you can put your hand down now, overachiever).
I really only have one problematic project that I can’t seem to take action on. Do I really need this whole program?
This is kind of a big investment. Can I get my university to pay for it?
Let’s be honest.
You need to succeed in academia, but you need to do it on your terms.
Navigate is the key.
And I’ll be with you, cheering you on!
