The “hidden (or invisible) curriculum” is baffling to those entering academia. It can be doubly vague to first generation students and others with underrepresented identities/experiences. Part of the road to equity is teaching (and sometimes challenging) these things!
What are some of the unwritten rules of the academe?

[Motivation: I recently spoke with a grad student who expressed being jarred by all the academic social norms that aren't taught in grad training.]
