Notes
What do we pursue as we seek success in academia? For most, the path to academic success focuses narrowly on A-level journal publications, which according to Elangovan & Hoffman () has caused a stealthy but steady erosion in the very essence of academia. In this essay, Elangovan & Hoffman explore that erosion by drawing on the poem by William Butler Yeats titled “What then?” to highlight the questions, doubts, and perils that lie at each of the four stages of academic life: doctoral student, junior professor, senior professor, and professor emeritus. They then offer a new set of questions that academics may ask at each stage of their careers to remain true to their sense of scholarly identity and calling. Their hope is to shine a critical spotlight on the modal journey and inspire a confident and courageous few to deviate from that well-trodden path and chart a course that is truer to the essence, purpose, and potential of academia. As a mature-age PhD student, who has spent most of my adult-life as either a student, a lecturer, or a researcher, I was moved by the deep philosophical questioning raised by Plato’s ghost repetitively asking

Creative Writing as Research: A Bibliography
The emergence of PhD programs in creative writing poses questions about the nature of writing, research, and knowledge, some of which have complex histories that long predate the disciplines of creative writing and English Literature. This bibliography does not attempt to address these questions exhaustively. It is aimed primarily at those who are interested in pursuing a PhD in creative writing and wishing to gain some knowledge of how such a possibility came about and find answers to some of the questions it raises. The bibliography is arranged according to a series of questions. ‘What is practice-based research?’, ‘What is creative writing?’, And ‘Can art give us knowledge?’ Under each heading, you fill find a selection of books and articles that offer accessible entry points into these. A final section lists some contemporary examples that offer different models of writing as research.
