If you're really interested, put together an abstract of what story you'd like to tell about your leaving process and send it to Lauren and Currer. We're definitely still accepting submissions, and would be interested in what you'd have to say!<br /><br />Better hurry, though ... the Feb. 1st deadline is sneaking up on us!JChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04468758055878600762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3282788798018689873.post-16072313520222271842013-01-14T09:22:14.957-05:002013-01-14T09:22:14.957-05:00stumbled upon your blog while googling 'leavin...stumbled upon your blog while googling 'leaving academia' to try to gain some inspiration/advice. would love to be involved in your e-book. what if you haven't actually left academia yet but are still in that awkward 'coming out of the closet' to friends/colleagues about it not being the life for you phase? any space for that?!?

If you wanted to gi...Hi JC,<br /><br />Yeah, I can do that. <br /><br />If you wanted to give me some feedback on the posts I've put up, that could be helpful. e.g., Are one, a few or all of them desirable as stand-alone chapters? Alternatively, perhaps it'd be good to combine the main themes addressed across the posts into one chapter. <br /><br />-RonAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3282788798018689873.post-63759109161958426942012-12-30T02:36:02.380-05:002012-12-30T02:36:02.380-05:00Hey Ron!

Write up an abstract and email it to us!<br /><br />(I'm still on vacation for a couple more days, but once I'm back to blogging I'll link my readers to your posts re: grad school. I think they'd like to hear what you have to say!JChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04468758055878600762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3282788798018689873.post-31088018235588289942012-12-30T00:29:33.050-05:002012-12-30T00:29:33.050-05:00Welp.

As it hap...I could see myself taking part in this.<br /><br />As it happens, I just wrote 2 posts (more possibly on the way) wherein I'm juxtaposing my experiences in and upon leaving cognitive science grad school with the experiences of a former professional baseball player who wrote about his personal struggles as he attempted to "make it". Very analogous situations, grad school and the minor leagues. <br /><br />My experience was surely not unique, though perhaps more dire than most. It ended in a maximally-serious suicide attempt. I've rebounded since and now am fortunate to be doing GREAT outside of academics, but my world fell apart. <br /><br />My posts on this topic are here: <br /><br />http://deathbytrolley.wordpress.com/2012/12/22/the-grad-school-gospels-on-professional-baseball-academia-and-my-shared-experience-with-dirk-hayhurst/<br />(Part 2 can be accessed at the end of this post)<br /><br />-RonAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
