If you're interested (and who wouldn't be?) in listening to me preach, I mean, talk for an hour about academic writing and the academic workplace generally, this is the podcast for you. Thanks to Andrew David Rimby for being such a good interlocutor. youtube.com/watch?v=d-0JJMg0…

Thanks to my hosts for a great visit!
Last week, scholar Leonard Cassuto (@LCassuto) gave a fantastic presentation on the importance of accessible academic writing. Making careful use of jargon and thoughtfully guiding readers through a narrative, academic writing makes an impact when we write as if readers matter.
ALT Leonard Cassuto speaks during his presentation. His hands are clasped together and he is leaning against a podium, which has a yellow cloth with the ASU Humanities Institute logo draped over it.
"To focus on the soft power of campus orthodoxies and ignore the hard power of state censorship strikes me as more than a little perverse." --Brian Rosenberg #highered #academictwitter Universities Need to Defend Themselves, Not Remain Neutral chronicle.com/article/univer…

Professor Leonard Cassuto on the unique appeal of the Dublin Literary Award:
"I particularly appreciate its democratic aspect, with the nominations coming from librarians. We should all value and enjoy literature together, and this award exemplifies that."
