An "author platform" is "an ability to sell books because of who you are and who you can reach." In other words, it's part of considering your audience when you write - including considering how your ideal audience will find you.

Fascinating, challenging episode of this podcast looking at the way writing assessment can replicate systems of white supremacy. The "labor-based grading" process sounds like an interesting way to get students to be reflective about their work.

Good review of the literature around the concept of "grit." Most of this literature focuses on students and I'm intrigued to see the call that we have to look closer at grit in the faculty life cycle too, with its ongoing opportunities for negative feedback.
