Cooking outside the PhD
Research Whisperer
Most research development models assume that time, energy, and executive functioning are equally distributed across scholars. They aren’t. Especially not for early career researchers in teaching-heavy roles, and certainly not for neurodivergent academics trying to survive in systems not designed for their minds.
We need a better way to support scholarly growth—one that respects rhythm, autonomy, and constraint without sacrificing rigor. This is the proposition I want to make: that we can design.
