Is Reviewer #2 really the harshest? A pseudo-scientific answer. Nowadays, many journals are openly sharing the peer review reports for the articles they publish. If the report is there, it will be the first thing I read, even before looking at the actual results i...

Peer review can be brutal, but at least it is our collective trauma.

#AcademicSky #PhDSky, I am growing weary of some of the lofi sound tracks I listen to in writing sprints. What do you listen to in focus time? I can't do lyrics, love world music & unusual instruments. I'd like both upbeat morning tracks (that's when I have my energy) & gentle/chill afternoon vibes

The Burn List: A Memoir of Abuse from Home to Higher Education A professor's hand around her throat, and his words, "one way or another, I'll find you," kept her silent. Shackled with student debt and fleeing her abusive family, Julie Cruse had no defense against a hunter. So she fled ... her degree first, then her career, then the long, airless years after. Decades later, tired of running, Cruse has one option left; to put her records in public view: The Burn List: A Memoir of Abuse from Home to Higher Education. --- The Burn List follows Julie Cruse from an abusive childhood into two decades of escalating academic exploitation, where her vulnerability made her a target. Across seven universities, male faculty groomed, harassed, and ultimately retaliated against her, beginning in undergrad and ending with her forced exit from a PhD program-and her career. Based on documented communications, The Burn List reveals how unchecked power in academia can enable abuse and create conditions that resemble human trafficking. The Burn List is not just one story. It's a lightning rod, and it arrives at a pivotal cultural moment, as Title VII and Title IX failures dominate headlines. In a time when survivors demand accountability, The Burn List sets fire to silence-and hands readers the match. Visit AcademicAbuse.com, where Cruse extends this survivor-led movement and tracks misconduct in higher education.

If you were intrigued by what you heard, here's where you can get the full story:

THE BURN LIST: THE CONSEQUENCES OF PRIORITIZING POWER OVER PEOPLE and THE MIDWEST INNOCENCE PROJECT (MIP) IS MARKING A SIGNIFICANT MILESTONE Host Terri Wilke will speak with Julie Cruse, a writer, advocate, and former academic working to expose and dismantle abuse in higher education. Cruse has become a leading voice for survivors navigating academic systems that too often protect institutions over people. She is the founder of AcademicAbuse.com, a survivor-led platform that documents abuse of power in universities and provides resources for both faculty and students navigating trauma and seeking justice. Cruse’s advocacy is grounded in the belief that academic abuse is a systemic problem tied to unchecked authority and weak enforcement of Title VII and Title IX protections. Through her work, she connects individual stories to broader labor and social justice issues, showing how abuse is allowed to persist inside institutions tasked with advancing the public good and teaching the next generation. Her book, The Burn List, A Memoir of Abuse from Home to Higher Education is based on the testimonies of survivors. It traces how academic exploitation unfolds over time and why existing reporting mechanisms so often fail.

Thanks KKFI 90.1 FM for the interview! We talked about #AcademicAbuse and my debut book, The Burn List: A Memoir of Abuse from Home to Higher Education.

Gold band at top that says Scholarly Writing Groups. Middle band is cream and says "Join to commit to summer writing. Join because you value supportive community. Join to refine your writing skills." Bottom gold band says starting in mid-May.

Playing „ask a librarian” again, because random copies of postincunabula keep appearing in papers (and are mentioned in that one paper only) and I’m trying to find out, if they (still) exist (at that place indicated), even if the copy isn’t appearing in their catalogue.
