    Essays and Assignments, Complex and Simple, with Su Matthan
    2026/03/01
    We have a guest in this episode, Su Matthan, and we talk about the differences between essays completed at school and assignments completed at university, some of the challenges of research ethics forms, and the challenges of making complicated things simple. And writing with both hands. All of this is in a context of people learning together, more than each person learning for themselves. Academic writing is a social activity, however much it also includes a lot of solitary work.

  • Proper Pride, Proper Humility

    Proper Pride, Proper Humility
    2026/02/15
    You’re likely to experience some pride as an academic writer. Seeing your name on an article or a book, having a positive response to something you’ve written. And you’re likely to experience some enforced humility as an academic writer. The withering reviews, the failed publication proposals. Here, we talk about the ‘virtuous’ pride, ‘proper pride’, the things we should be proud of (the publications, the positive responses), and the ‘bad’ pride, the things we may be tempted to be proud of but shouldn’t (the publications which simply attack people, the unoriginal piece dressed up in new clothes). It’s like that with humility, too. Peer review often humbles us, even if it helps us improve our writing, and we should never think our writing is (always) going to transform the world: proper humility means understanding the limits of our (nevertheless valuable) work. Being negatively reviewed after publication is also humbling, but perhaps even more humbling is not being read at all, being ignored. Enjoy the ‘good’ pride and accept the ‘good’ humbling moments; try to avoid the ‘bad’ pride (often ego-driven) and try to survive the humiliations. It’s all part of an academic writer’s life.

  • After the Party

    After the Party
    2026/02/01
    Last time, the 50th episode, so a party to celebrate. At least, one was deserved. So now it is after the party. Annie Pirrie, an excellent researcher who did a great deal of contract research, wrote the reports and articles out of each project. However, afterwards, she thought ‘but what about this, or that?’ Annie said that she often wrote her most interesting, quirky and original articles after the main project. That’s an interesting idea. ‘After’ is a good time to think, to recover, to re-calibrate, to re-fuel, to rest. If you are bereaved, many people say you should not make big decisions. Perhaps the same goes for writing. When you finish a big project, perhaps a book or a thesis, you should perhaps not go straight onto the next project. Instead, you should think, contemplate, perhaps do a small quirky bit of writing. Or perhaps reading – reading books you might otherwise not read, reading novels, biographies, histories, or other materials. When Julian has researched solitude, he has asked when the best times are for solitude, and many people – children and adults – said, ‘after’, the day after Christmas, the day after a celebration, the hours after a sporting event. Solitude is often experienced ‘after’, and solitude is a good place to think original thoughts about writing. Go on: enjoy the afters.
