My PhD looked at how liminal (eg underground & abandoned) spaces in literature affect protagonists’ identities. Several novels I’ve read recently also present the post-PhD phase a liminal space.

It’s not easy, but it’s normal to feel ‘in-between’, and like you don’t know who or what you are yet.

Over on LinkedIn I jumped on the ‘2024 Rewind’ summary bandwagon. For BlueSky, I thought I’d try something different, so here it is… my 2024 ‘Roast.’

Think ‘letting your imposter gremlins write your annual progress review feedback for you.’

But I do LOVE a semi-colon.

Merry Christmas! 😂
