In this episode, Dr. Cher Hill shares her experiences with academic writing practices. The episode was recorded at a workshop at the Research Hub writing retreat on October 2, where Dr. Hill talked about her practices, gave ideas for writing and reading, and answered questions from the audience. It is the first in our series or interviews with experienced academic writers talking about how they developed their craft, and sharing concrete ideas and tips. Dr. Hill reflects on working wholistically, about using A/r/tography processes, and about reading as breathing in and writing as breathing out.
