Phd Ponderings: On Summer Anxiety, Uncertainty, and New Beginnings

As a lifelong student, the winter blues don’t often hit me as hard as summer anxiety does. But every student I’ve ever met has struggled with some combination of anxiety, depression, and/or burn out. As an incoming phd student, the fifth installment of The Scholar is thus a short meditation on my own struggles with anxiety during one of the brightest seasons of the year. Give it a gentle read if you’d like and if you’re like me, I hope you know it gets better.

Literature is Political: The Literary Canon as Colonial Mechanism

The fourth installment of The Scholar is OUT! We’re once again revisiting what the Canon and the classics we hold dear mean in the context of Western Imperialism. Here are 1,000 words describing its origins, its uses, and misuses.

Give it a read, leave a comment, like and subscribe to support a soon-to-be broke PhD student. As always, thank you for reading! :’)

being in academia is kind of like where you're on everest and you see the frozen bodies of the other people who've tried it strewn about everywhere and you think "okay, but that's them and i'm me"
