The Recovering Academic

“Joshua Doležal writes with clarity, deep knowledge, and conviction on a range of topics from literature to family life to practical options for PhD graduates beyond academia. His posts are reliably well written and full of ideas, and liable to sparkle like the surface of a summer lake under a rope swing, challenging: You next.”

“A freelance writer and former English professor provides his insight on academia, career development outside the Ivory Tower, interviews with people who have successfully transitioned out of Higher Ed, and his reflections on culture and literature”

“Joshua may be a "recovering" academic, but he remains a scholar and teacher and a writer of deep insight and sensitivity. He offers so much on his substack.”
