🔖📝 Read Why PhDs Need to Study Creative Writing by Anthony Ocampo, at the recommendation of Dr. Ravynn K. Stringfield.

This is one of the reasons I want to study creative nonfiction, to dig into public communication of the social sciences.

@KimberlyHirsh I remember reading that when it was first published. I’ve always thought of it, in part, as the difference between being an academic and a public intellectual, and I think we don’t have enough of the latter.

@richnewman It's hard to get funding to be the latter.

@KimberlyHirsh That is very true, and it's a shame. We need serious, committed public intellectuals a whole lot more than we need media pundits.
