Appreciating the Joys of Publishing Pt. 2 | Ep. 26

Have you ever received an unexpected email from a reader, student, or colleague saying your work helped them think differently, teach differently, or feel less alone? Have you ever paused and realized that a single article can influence ideas in the future in ways you never imagined? Hey co-authors! In this episode, we continue our joy-forward reframing of academic publishing by focusing on what happens after publication. We explore the joy of impact beyond the CV, the often-overlooked pleasure of collective scholarship, and the quiet meaning of leaving a scholarly trace that extends beyond any single project, role, or institution. In this episode, you’ll reflect on: How research creates ripples of impact through teaching, practice, and public scholarship. Why collaboration and co-authorship can be sources of connection, mentorship, and shared celebration. How publishing allows you to leave a lasting scholarly trace—contributing to conversations you may never see, but that still matter deeply. If you’ve ever questioned whether your work truly makes a difference, this episode will help you recognize how your scholarship lives through people, ideas, and communities far into the future.
