"I sigh and I gulp and then I say: I am an independent scholar; it’s a fancy name for someone who is unemployed in academia but still has the misfortune of dwelling on important subjects and absolutely no home to take it to."
Very shy to share this new text of mine.
Here’s a very personal essay about being an independent scholar, my method, about immigration, cracks in academia and fragments.
I don’t know if people even read this kind of stuff anymore but if you do, enjoy.

enjoyed this lovely piece. it appears that in scholarship, writing, and life really, the richest insights come from the dislodged. "Disciplines are homes that I don’t belong to anymore and I can’t say that’s something I regret."

A beautiful, and touching, essay on academic (non)belonging, the trade-offs of so-called 'interdisciplinarity', and the only thing that stays throughout it all--curiosity of the mind.
