A little good news for your scrolly-scroll.

I just turned in my final project for #GradSchool at #PurdueGlobal. Which means I'm all done except for the shouting. I have sufficient points to #graduate with my #MSIT, however the grade lands.

I also feel like an incredible weight has been lifted off my shoulders that I've been bearing for 2 years! Wow!

We invite applications for two fully funded #PhD positions in a project on "multimodal argumentation" (https://sites.google.com/rug.nl/multimodal/home) - especially interesting for applicants with an interest in #DiscourseAnalysis, #linguistics, and/or the #philosophy of #argumentation and #language.

Both Michelle Boyd (Becoming the Writer You Already Are) & Helen Sword (Writing with Pleasure) talk abt the usefulness of having your own writing metaphor. When I first read Boyd, I decided mine was hiking. But overall hiking is enjoyable and currently, writing is a slog. So a new metaphor to tide me over:

If you are a student (grad students included) and a professor or a supervisor denies your request for disability accommodations, just want to post this reminder that you're not without options. Some of these suggestions may entail more work than others, and none are a guarantee, but you are entitled to reasonable accommodations in the US. Yes, this really does include grad students.

Finally breaking my writer's block by getting angry enough at a methodological question raised during my candidacy exam that I want to prove my point.

I really think we underestimate spite as a motivator for graduate students.

After over a year and a half of ridiculous hoops to jump through, I finally installed my #Motus tower! Please clap. 😅

Coming up with an idea but immediately preparing myself for critique:

"This is a great argument!"

"Well, it's pretty good, I think."

"It's a...good argument?"

"It's an argument. I definitely have an argument."

I was pretty down about the whole #dissertation proposal process though. Part of this was because everything seemed so unclear, even when I'd ask for guidelines. That lack of clarity also led to some critical #feedback.

So I reflect on feedback in #gradschool (again). This post is more... reflection I needed to process & get off my chest. Hits on #HiddenCurriculum themes again & #MentalHealth in grad school/while #dissertating.

Want to chat about #schizo and #psychosis?

Or how it interacts with #ADHD #PTSD and #OCD in a wild soup of letters, psychiatric wrangling, and general confusion?

And how I’ve managed to build a career in #science and #research despite it, trudging through #academia and #GradSchool ?

I’d love to connect! I wasn’t happy to learn that this server was getting blocked by other servers and wanted a community tailored to folks struggling with #MentalHealth and #ChronicIllness so I have a new profile! Catch me at @[email protected] or (if you’re still holding out a presence on the bird site) @SchizoScientist there!

I've found that the best thing to do when stuck (with anxiety or imposter syndrome or just writer's block) in the #dissertation process is to talk to someone else (that you haven't before) in your field/area about your ideas and outstanding questions.

Nothing motivates me like having a great chat with a colleague... and then hearing that they're excited to see where my work goes.
