How often do you have to be “politically correct” in your daily interactions?For @william.bacon_, it is every day, every time, and towards everybody. And unfortunately, he learned to do so the hard way.In his first year, he received harsh feedback during a mock presentation about his topic of inter-ethnic electoral violence.His offence? Simply smiling too much. 🙃Now pursuing his final year of PhD in Political Science and Government at @ucl, he is more careful with his language and tone. Want to know more about what it takes to become a political science PhD student? Check out our IG story or read his interview on our website (via bio). 👆...#StudyInternational #StudyAbroad #InternationalStudent by @william.bacon_

The best thing I’ve learned in my PhD has NOTHING to do with theory, and everything to do with AURA.Constantly I got critiques saying: “Explain what you’re doing before you explain what you didn’t do.”It sounded basic and ANNOYING. Like okay, relevance, pls? But it took me TWO YEARS to actually get it. Ive been out here writing like “don’t worry, I know this part is weak,” instead of just saying what the f*ck I was doing.Now? Whether it’s teaching fitness or writing methodology, I make the effort to prioritise what it IS that I’m doing. Por ejemplo: “This move activates your obliques.”Not: “We’re not doing this just because it looks cool.”Difference being: one is “I know what I’m doing.” The other is “pls don’t come for me.”One is voice. The other is defense.This isn’t just for writing. It’s for everything: Your next work email? Start with what is happening.Your next pitch or post? Say the idea first, don’t pre-apologize.Your life in general? Stop softening your voice to make it more palatable.Say what it is. THEN, if you need, say what it isn’t.Big guapo energy. #fitnessmotivation #phdstudentlife #guapoenergy by @william.bacon_
