On valuing your work

I came across a blog post by an artist that resonated with things I know academics also experience. I’d like to share it with you.In it, the author talks about her own recent experience of being mentored, then her own experience of teaching and mentoring other artists. When you read the piece you might want to substitute “research” or “writing” for “art”.I quote some passages and discuss them.
