Humanities Researcher, blog of Melbourne University English professor Stephanie Trigg, is the latest edition to the blogscholar academic blog directory. In October 2006, Stephanie was diagnosed with early stage breast cancer and started a blog as a "meditative lifeline between the personal and the professional". Read Stephanie's story in the Brisbane Times.
"My blog is called Humanities Researcher, and it was designed to
give voice to some of the labours and trials, the anxieties and the
pleasures of academic life. And so I started to write about my
illness in the blog, reflecting on the relationship between bodily
trauma and the life of the mind, between the personal and the
public."
