Here they will discuss the multiple modes that academic writing can take, from the traditional essay, to blogging, to Twitter threads, to in-conversation podcasting, the radical potential that different kinds of knowledge transmission has for transforming the academy, and understanding your own rhythm for writing and processing information.

It did not take long for this to become evident to me. A brief look at my undergraduate cohort and the PhD researchers, staff and senior academics around me revealed vanishingly small numbers of Black scholars, let alone Black female scholars.
