As an academic, receiving emails like this really makes my day: I write with great admiration for your work, particularly a paper you delivered with your students on decolonization, which I found deeply compelling. I hope you know how much your work means to rising scholars like myself! #AcademicSky

Today’s episode of “Academic Gatekeeping”: my paper was sent back because the paragraphs had 6pt spacing between them. Apparently the biggest threat to quality scholarship is… paragraph gaps. #AcademicSky

One of the many reasons I preprint my papers before peer review. You have a record and timeline of your work in case a reviewer ever does anything like this. 🫣
