Reflections on Writing
Why do I write? How do I write? Where do I write? How do I carve out the time and space to write? Where do I find a place to write? How has my approach to writing changed? What is the value of writing in the contemporary scholarly context?
These are among the questions many scholars ponder, but seldom articulate to an audience, let alone put into print. This series seeks to develop dialogue around these and related questions. We believe such dialogue is all the more pressing given the very many constraints put on scholars at different points in their careers. We have approached scholars to write up their thoughts on these — and other — questions. Authors have been given the freedom to select their leading question or prompt for reflection, and to express their thoughts however they wish within the broad remit of the series. The responses will be added below on an advance open access basis as soon as they become available.
