Still wondering:
What is your process of keeping up with new literature and reading widely? (while not drowning in the FOMO).

Information overload and FOMO for academics:
What are your personal rules to manage both those phenomena?
How do you balance the need to focus on your topics AND read widely?
What are the boundaries of your 'widely'?
Some thoughts would be appreciated.

Writing retreats question:
If you've been to writing retreats, what would be your best tips for someone who goes for the first time?
(mainly in terms of choosing a suitable topic to tackle... but anything else that springs to mind)

How often do you read outside of your immediate field or project? Do you have a system to make sure you keep up with the literature? Do you to go back to the PDFs that you saved a year ago under 'to read'? When? 📖

Last touches on the slides and off to #BAFTSS2024! Very much looking forward to the panel and the conference!

If you wanted to get student feedback on your modules apart from the traditional university surveys, what questions would you ask?

Anyone familiar with academic writing groups (preferably online)? Looking for a supportive community in the process of various writing projects. 📖✍️😊

Is anyone familiar with good writing groups (online probably preferable) that focus on ERC book writing? Looking for a supportive group in the process of a book-writing project. 📖😊

In the series of posts about PhD life, this month's is on a more positive note! :)

Recently read a book about the writing life of fiction writers. Some lessons to learn about writing, and mainly an encouragement that everyone struggles with it sometimes, and we're not alone, regardless of style or focus.

If you wish to hear me talk about Seoul Digital Media City, catch it here: A podcast with Steve Rogers (from Mediapolis Journal), Darshana Mini, and Jaana Serres. Had to leave a bit early for my panel, just in case you wonder where I went... :)

Oh, hello! First post in a new place. :)
Some thoughts on PhD. Because sometimes knowing that others may be going through similar phases is a great help in itself. And also because a PhD is a mental and emotional journey (not to say roller-coaster), in addition to an intellectual one.
