Hi! #introduction I'm primarily a parent unschooling two kids. Second I spend a lot of time supporting and organizing #neurodiverse communities online and in person. Third #unitarian. Fourth a #RecoveringAcademic trying to figure out what all the theory I used to love means to me now. And finally when I give myself a chance to play I make huge messes baking and cooking spontaneous one-pot meals with whatever vegetable is in season, as well as being one of the least-trained #choir members around.

Nach fast neun Jahren räume ich heute mein Büro aus und halte morgen die letzte Vorlesung meines Lebens.
Zu Jane Austen, was ich schön finde.
Und damit beende ich nach 22 Jahren das Kapitel Hochschulkarriere. Ein bisschen #IchbinHannah ist da drin, aber der Frust ist verraucht. Heute nur Wehmut beim Ausräumen des Büros.
Nächste Woche dann mit Schwung in das neue Berufsleben. Immerhin ohne Pendeln, DAS zumindest werde ich nicht vermissen (aus dem Zug gepostet).

Even though I have been Tooting, I never made a formal introduction.

I am a #RecoveringAcademic with expertise in #Theatre,#Writing, and #InterdisciplinaryStudies.

I am an of both #fiction and #nonfiction and a certified #Gateless writing instructor.

I believe in the power of #creativity and #improvisation to bring people together across #differences and encourage #collaboration.

I seek to inspire and boost others, building #community one creative project at a time.

Today I went to see the inaugural lecture of someone who became a full professor. She is about the same age as me and it made me reflect about leaving academia. Five years ago I would have been very jealous of this person, now I’m mostly happy for her and vaguely wonder what my life had been like in the alternate universe where I had stayed in academia. The academic brainwashing is strong and hard to get rid of. #altac #withaphd #recoveringacademic
