Episode 5: Resonating Words and Stage Whispers: Navigating Academic Writing with Reader-Centric Clarity
Description
Episode 5 of Your Adjunct Professor (YAP) Plodcast takes a detour as Dr. Jaime embarks on an invigorating urban hike in the iconic city of San Francisco. Reflecting on his pre-pandemic work days in the city, Dr. Jaime shares, "Until the pandemic, I worked in San Francisco for one of the largest hospitality conglomerates in the world. Today, I ate breakfast at one of my favorite restaurants. It was the place where I made the decision from which institution I would pursue my PhD. Today's walk feels like a victory lap—a full-circle moment! " This impromptu episode was inspired by Dr. Jaime's friend, Cheeraz Gormon—writer, storyteller, public speaker, and actress. Driven by a recent episode of A Dose of Black Joy and Caffeine, where Cheeraz appeared as a guest, Dr. Jaime explores the concept of creating backstories for characters, drawing parallels to the academic world. Tune in as Dr. Jaime reflects on Marla's work from Episode 4 and explores the intersection of storytelling, academia, and mindfulness for scholars. Join us on this unique urban hike and continue yapping along the trails of intellect! 🌆🎙️ #YAPPlodcast #UrbanHike #Storytelling #ScholarlyReflections #SanFranciscoAdventures
