Story
Information literacy is about as attractive as teeth extraction. However, for PhD students and citizens more generally, information literacy enables us to sift and sort knowledge from opinion, and expertise from a vibe. Know What You Do Not Know: Information Literacy for PhD Students provides a context around the folk devils of our time: plagiarism, self-plagiarism, influencers and populists. Most importantly, Know What You Do Not Know demonstrates how to take notes, how to reference with clarity, and how to build an opinion into a referenced and considered argument.

Story
These are strange times. A time of climate crises. Health crises. Collapsing systems. Influencers. And yes—Jordan Peterson. We are currently living in a (Post) Peterson Paradigm. This book–12 Rules for (Academic) Life—explores what has happened to teaching, learning and politics through this odd and chaotic time. Deploying feminism, this lens offers a glass-sharpened view of this moment in international higher education. It is organized through twelve mantras for a university sector searching for a purpose in this interregnum.

Story
With growing academic responsibilities, family commitments, and inboxes, scholars are struggling to fulfill their writing goals. A finished book - or even steady journal articles - may seem like an impossible dream. But, as Joli Jensen proves, it really is possible to write happily and productively in academe. Jensen begins by busting the myth that universities are supportive writing environments. She points out that academia, an arena dedicated to scholarship, offers pressures that actually prevent scholarly writing.

No punches pulled
I would recommend this short book for people contemplating a university career, those in the process of writing a PhD, and especially for people mid-career who are caught up in the machinations of power, wondering if they made the right choice. Finding out that one's path is often blocked by bullies, narcissists, and psychopaths is sobering. Tara Brabazon doesn't pull any punches in this regard. She shows how self-absorbed egotists in today's universities groom followers. On the other side of the ledger, there is a wealth of useful information about how to survive, prosper and develop authentic friendships. Tara provides five solutions at the end of each themed chapter to overcome obstacles and hurdles. Comma is both enlightening and dystopian. It can help you survive the journey.

Fantastic book to restart the PhD journey
Loved the book and ease at which Tara narrated the various chapters. This was my first audiobook and I think I might consider purchasing more.
