UACES (University Association for Contemporary European Studies)’s Post

I'm so thankful for this opportunity to join the UACES (University Association for Contemporary European Studies) Doctoral Training Academy at the European Commission representation in Prague. The panels and Q&A questions have been so helpful for soothing the inevitable anxieties that we face early in our academic careers. It is always a pleasure to meet fellow PhD and postdoctoral researchers and to share our experiences. Personally, I have found it especially valuable to learn about different strategies for handling our teaching activities in today's training session. Thanks to Olga Litvyak and Elena Şimanschi for coordinating this amazing workshop and addressing everyone's tips and doubts on how to build authority and address difficult questions in the classroom.
