Reading Recommendation: Helen Sword鈥檚 Air & Light & Time & Space: How Successful Academics Write
Looking for a good excuse to look away from your screens? Caitlin Palo, Program and Events Manager with the听Simpson Center for the Humanities, suggests Helen Sword鈥檚 Air & Light & Time & Space: How Successful Academics Write.
In the midst of overwhelming pressure to stay productive during a global pandemic (with nothing less than a dissertation to complete), Palo reflects on听Sword鈥檚 suggestions for making space to write.
“Air & Light & Space & Time听is not an instructional book. It is an orchestration of voices, an ethnography of writers. It is a picture of the rich diversity of writing practices at the heart of intellectual endeavors in the sciences as well as in the humanities, and an invitation to think more broadly about one鈥檚 own practices in the company of other successful writers.”
