  • Academics should be weirdos

    The presence of weirdos is a sign of a healthy, vibrant ecosystem. Too often, the idea of what an “academic” is supposed to look like is far too narrow. But when you embrace your unique identity, you’re not just being true to yourself – you’re contributing something invaluable to your field.

Scholars engage with society by contextualising and transforming research for a broader public audience. I used to be more of an academic. Now I’m trying to be a better scholar.
