@erikvoeten.bsky.social has built his career on one goal: make ideas flow more freely.

In this week’s Etched in Marble, we talked about writing, editing, & how to carry arguments beyond academia without losing their complexity.

Kate McNamara, Professor & author of The Politics of Everyday Europe, treats writing as a way of thinking clearly about power, markets & the ideas that connect them.

For her, writing isn’t easy, it’s a struggle, but one worth having!

Thanks for this advice, Anna! It is so helpful and concise. We have had a few this year and have scheduled a few more, so it is great timing for us!
Book workshops are *fantastic.* Whether or not resources are an issue, the Zoom version (2-3 hours) works incredibly well and makes it much easier for participants to attend.

Other book workshop tips 🧵:
I wish more schools had money to organize book workshops. I have attended one today that was intellectually so stimulating. As any good book workshop, it will not only make the manuscript that was being discussed better, but it will make the future work of all the participants better.

Every academic career is built on rejection, but we don’t show it.

CVs list publications, grants & awards, not rejected manuscripts, unfunded proposals, or failures.

But those invisible rejections shape us more than our successes ever do.

By Dennis Rasmussen, one of my colleagues here @supolisci.bsky.social -- also got a very enjoyable audiobook version, highly recommended.
What a magnificiantly charming #book!

Accounts for the deep friendship between two historical giants - David Hume and Adam Smith.

Even though their ideas changed the world, as people they were both deeply committed to friendships and good humor that comes with it.

Congrats @catherinedevries.bsky.social! And I second Vicente’s excitement, what a great move for the department.
I cannot overstate how exciting this is.

@catherinedevries.bsky.social is one of the most brilliant and influential scholars out there, as well as a kind and amazing mentor.

Can't wait to have her join our department soon!
We are super excited that Catherine de Vries will join IE University as Full Professor of Political Science, Chair of our Department, and Vice Dean at IE's SPEGA in January.

We look forward to having her as a colleague and leader in our growing department!
