"Why do we...lionize this...pseudopopulist orientation and...denounce the kind of writing most of our colleagues engage in in one way or another? Why do we reflexively believe that difficult writing...writing deemed opaque or inaccessible, is an inherent problem?"

what does ‘misbehaviour’ sound like? in new open access work i ask this question in the context of school discipline policies, looking at how ideologies of ‘im/proper language’ and ‘im/proper behaviour’ coalesce and get co-constructed with one another. doi.org/10.1080/0962...

Completely agree with the idea of having no emergencies and saving full days without meetings. Also, develop networks of mutual emotional and professional support in and outside academia! #TeamRhetoric #AcademicSky #RhetComp
two academic work pro tips:
--remove mail apps from your phone. there are no academic emergencies.
--pick one day and make it meeting free. If you can't do a whole day, then block of chunks a couple times a week. ensures you have dedicated time to think, read, do the work.

I think part of the problem, at least in rhetcomp, is too many people never took comparative, BIPOC, and global nonwestern rhetorics and rhetorical histories seriously. Planning to present on this at RSA.
It's wild to me that one the repeating themes against refusal as a framework is iterations of "we never responded this way to technology in the past."
