Do you know how to turn what you're interested in thinking about into something that other people want to read about? Do you even know what you're interested in, as opposed to what you think you should be interested in? Do you recognise that boredom and feeling lost are necessary and unavoidable parts of the research process, and that you can use them to your advantage? Do you know how to tap into your unique strengths and produce writing that's original and insightful? Do you realise that perfection is not only unattainable, but also - and this was a new one for me - boring? If you've ever struggled as a researcher, or if you're someone who helps students or other researchers, you need to hear this interview with Professor Thomas S. Mullaney and Professor Christopher Rea. They're the authors of the incredibly helfpul book, Where Research Begins, which I've recommended numerous times on this podcast. Thomas S. Mullaney is professor of history at Stanford University and a Guggenheim fellow. His books include The Chinese Typewriter: A History and Your Computer Is on Fire. You can find him on Bluesky or LinkedIn. Christopher Rea is professor of Asian Studies at the University of British Columbia. His books include Chinese Film Classics, 1922-1949 and The Age of Irreverence: A New History of Laughter in China. Where Research Begins has its own website, where you can learn more about the book, access additional (free!) resources, and contact Chris and Tom.Two books by other authors are mentioned in this episode. They are:Wayne C. Booth, Gregory G. Colomb, Joseph M. Williams, Joseph Bizup, William T. FitzGerald. 1995: The Craft of Research, now in its fifth edition, 2024 (Chicago, IL: University of Chicago Press). Umberto Eco. 1977: How to Write a Thesis, translated by Caterina Mongiat Farina and Geoff Farina, 2015 (Cambridge, MA: MIT Press)

Professor Kozlowski concludes (perhaps prematurely) his discussion of the Ethics of Literature by delivering a broad-strokes summary of Wayne C. Booth's The Company We Keep: An Ethics of Fiction, along with some musing on the series' diverse and complicated conclusions, and thoughts about future projects.

Falling through the floor, stalked by a burly viking, or plagued by boss self-destruction?

Scrible Website A little about Matt Menschner: “I am a fourth-year teacher in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. I graduated from Temple University in December 2014. My content area of focus in college was history, but after graduation I also pursued a certification in English. After graduating I began teaching at a middle school in West Philadelphia, but the following year I returned to the neighborhood high school in North Philadelphia where I completed my student teaching fieldwork the year prior. As an advocate of technology in the classroom, I am constantly adapting and modifying the way that I teach my students and meet their diverse educational needs. I occasionally act as a consult for Scrible, Inc. and I have incorporated a myriad of other educational technologies in my class to improve instructional outcomes. In addition to teaching and consulting, I am also a Fellow with the Teachers Institute of Philadelphia at the University of Pennsylvania. Through TIP, I conduct research and publish original curriculum units that are available to educators across the world. As a staunch advocate of educational technology and personalized learning, I encourage and model for my students inquisitiveness, adaptability and digital citizenship in an age of boundless opportunity and information.” Matt tells us how he uses Scrible, “Scrible is a tool that takes much of the micromanagement and headache out of facilitating research-based assignments and projects in the classroom. It has been a dream come true for teachers like myself who are teaching humanities courses that require students to research and manage a collection of sources in an inquiry-based model. Scrible is cloud-based so any device with internet can access student and teacher libraries. Assignments both large and small work well with Scrible due to its text editing, citation and realtime collaborative features. It also affords teachers the ability to modify their instruction or manage projects based on data-driven results. Scrible is a tool that takes much of the micromanagement and headache out of facilitating research-based assignments and projects in the classroom. With Scrible you can save webpages for later, bookmark websites in the cloud, store files in the cloud, build your own library of articles, organize your library with tags, full-text search your library, annotate articles in your browser, make comments directly on webpages, and share annotated articles with others.

Manu Saadia fell into science fiction and Star Trek fandom at the age of eight, back in Paris, France, where he was born and raised. Manu studied history of science and economic history in Paris and Chicago. After many happy years in the Ivory Tower, he yielded to his childhood passion for the future. Manu embarked on his continuing mission to explore strange new worlds by boldly going where many have gone before: Los Angeles, CA, where he advise and (occasionally) builds tech companies. Manu received the 2005 Wayne C. Booth Graduate Student Prize for Excellence in Teaching at the University of Chicago. His book, Trekonomics, is currently available for pre-order at www.inkshares.com and will be released in 2016. In this episode you will learn: why Manu Saadia wrote Trekonomics. about the Star Trek Economics panel at Comic Con. why economists love Star Trek. about inkshares and how it can help authors publish their book. how traditional media rather than social media boosted pre-order sales of Trekonomics - an ironic outcome. when Manu’s interested in economics and Star Trek collided. about the work of Isaac Asimov and how his stories are a discourse on economics. how the stories of robots and the future by Asimov influenced and shaped the storyline in Star Trek. about the replicators in Star Trek and how they solve the problem of economic scarcity. about the Ferengi’s and how they represent capitalism and trade. why The Federation or the humans in Star Trek do not use money but have a foreign account to trade with the Ferengi’s. and much much more.
