Friday 16th November 2018 - My new bag, a warm cafe and ploughing through my close analysis assignment.

Final proofreading of this journal before it is published. I also came up with a title last weekend and it feels right, like it’s all finally coming together. I’m going to miss being a co-editor and spending so much time thinking about the Mediterranean (!) but mostly I am looking forward to being able to share this work at last 🌝

Done with the first two weeks of university and it has been great even though I already have a million things I need to do

I honestly don’t know what I’d do if I didn’t have coffee or tea.

Two things I’m working on today: I am the co-editor (with @studymediations) of a special edition of the Goldsmiths literature journal, so I’m currently checking over peer review sheets and manuscript feedback from our board of editors. 

I am also writing questions for an event I’ve been putting together as part of Alternative Careers Week at Goldsmiths, which is a conversation about the challenges facing prospective academics between myself, Dhanveer Brar, Beth Guilding, Jake Hall, Akanksha Mehta and Roberto Mozzachiodi.

You can find the details of the event here: Is a Career in Academia Worth it?
