I wonder whether that’s what drew me in initially. As a narrative psychologist, the notion of integrating memories is vital to reconciliation. But - hips holding trauma (hadn’t realised that came from this book) not quite so sure on that…. Will read and report back.

This is really important- thank you for telling me about this. I’ve just had a quick scan of the critique and it isn’t great is it? The last time I had anything to do with VDK’s writing was 17 years ago (today!). So it may well be what I did like about the work is not there anymore.

This has happened to me too. Twice now. First time I emailed the journal editor (about 10 years ago) because the citation made out I’d said the opposite of what I’d actually said. They weren’t bothered. Second time, this year, I just took to X I’m afraid.

Excellent! Thank you!

I AM looking! Goodness me.

I’m 20 years into my career and posted my very first preprint yesterday after being very dubious. I’m working in a very niche area and publishing is tricksy. This way, it’s ‘out there’ protecting my IP while it goes through peer review with the journal. 🤞🏻Go for it I’d say.

2nd Dan here. Stopped training in my 20s and just got back into it in my 40s. These are wonderful. You’ve captured the spirit of Shotokan here. I’d know it anywhere ❤️

You’ve got this! You’ve spent years in preparation. Be confident, take on board critique that makes you work better, but don’t worry about doing anything more right now.

This might do

These are fab! I started a year ago and I’m not great but I find the process itself so rewarding.

And social media has definitely made this worse. Loads of Profs, huge on SM, but actually pretty dire academics.

But we can be better, right? Champion those PhD students and ECRs. Show them they are important and that rules do apply to the profs too.

It’s nearly 20 years ago and I’m still not quite yet over it.

See my comment above….. #solidarity.

My first big international conference happened when I was a PhD student. I was put in a session with some very well known profs, who all happened to be male. Every one of them over ran. Chair did nothing. It came to me. I went over (inexperience) and the Chair stopped me dead. Humiliated.

Hello you! Yeah, it’s looking rather appealing on your side of the fence…..
