Writing is a vital aspect of the life of a scholar-academic, encompassing a wide range of written expressions that shape our understanding of the world. However, the writing that finds its way into public spaces represents only a fraction of the vast writing we engage in and may find personally meaningful. This edited volume aims to bring to light the hidden writing that often exists within academia, including email exchanges with students or colleagues, reflections on our loneliness, anger, and failures, and insights into the complex realities of global politics and the work that is (or is not) being done in the neoliberal, extractive university. By compiling these diverse perspectives, we hope to provide a more comprehensive understanding of the challenges and opportunities facing scholars and academics in today's world.
