Dr. Cynthia Greenlee is an intentionally independent scholar and award-winning journalist. During this lunchtime workshop with a dozen graduate students and post-doc fellows, she will talk about the challenges and rewards of being an unaffiliated scholar. There will be plenty of time to ask questions about directing your academic training into public-facing scholarship. Dr. Greenlee asks that you read her short article, “Acceptable Exclusions and Promiscuous Creativity: The Life of an Independent Scholar” (2020), in advance. Cynthia Greenlee (PhD, Duke University) is deputy director of special series at The Guardian, lead editor of The Echoing Ida anthology of Black women and people writing on reproductive health, and a noted food writer who has been awarded the coveted James Beard Award. Space is limited and registration is required. |
