thank you Brenna!
I felt like the small businesses example helped me put the idea of sharing your story/process into a less-terrifying light and your response brings out the benefits of sharing the process along with the finished product. your statement that hearing others’ stories inspiring you is exactly what scholars and the general public…[Read more]

Hi Sara!
I feel that the push to make the public humanities more accessible/legible to the general public is absolutely needed to further broaden the community and help people share experiences. I notice in almost every academic reading, even those that harp on the need for legibility and communication between the scholars and the public, make…[Read more] -

I personally find the idea of sharing my “process” instead of just my finished product laughable.

Hi Jen!
I actually laughed at the first part of your post that posting your process as opposed to your finished product would be laughable because I totally agree.

Hi Jen,
I am impressed with what you said about what writers/creators struggle with: creativity is an indispensable human need. Also, how the incomplete product (process) and the complete product play a role in influencing what one says is crucial. But isn’t the incompleteness of something a prerequisite for its development? Of course, this is…[Read more]
