Yes! For me, at least, making publishing the goal changes the purpose - I rarely get to do things just because I want to, and this offers a way to practice and learn without the focus being on ‘the outcome’. Also, doesn’t rule out publishing for anyone who then wants to explore it later.

Strongly resonates with me. I finished my MSc in 2021 and any writing I have done since has been work related - even when unpaid, I somehow legitimise this whereas I struggle to do so with personal writing.

Ooh, do you use cashews? I’m off to gather some of our stuff today and I usually use pine nuts but would be very interested to know what cashews do!

I was invited to contribute to an academic text 5 yrs ago, so I said my piece in a publication that I thought was high quality and written for a professional readership (in hopes of going beyond the echo chamber). And I kind of retired after that. 20+ years of no change is evidence enough.

Genuinely think no caregiver at the start of their ‘journey’ wants to believe it can be as awful as more experienced caregivers tell them. I think professionals (including thinkers in that) have a variety of different reasons for what they choose to get on board with.

Sadly, I’m even more cynical (if that’s possible). I tend not to comment on any Education related topic because I don’t see there’s much point, but I think your comment could too easily be overlooked when, in fact, it exemplifies the whole miserable state of things.

The most horrible thing about that Jarlath, is that it’s not remotely surprising.

Makes me think of Damian Milton’s excellent work on ‘what exactly are interventions intervening with’?
Infuriating that we are still saying the same things over a decade on.
