"In 2012, I wrote my first blog post about my depression. I had alluded to it on Twitter, but this was the first time I had written about it formally in public. This was before we were having serious conversations on the platform and in academia more specifically about mental health. The topic was still largely taboo, but I had to write it down, record it, even if I was ashamed and embarrassed. "Over the next 7 years, I would go on to write about my ongoing mental health challenges, linking it back to what were depressive episodes in high school and college, to my postpartum depression. I wrote about my son's diagnosis of ADHD, and the discovery then diagnosis that I, too, had ADHD, which was probably the underlying cause of my persistent depression and anxiety."This book collects Lee Skallerup Bessette's online writing about mental health, including five new essays, written specifically for this collection.

Starting in 2010, educator Lee Skallerup Bessette, PhD, began blogging about her teaching experiences in higher education. Teaching students at a rural, state comprehensive institution serving some of the poorest zip codes in the USA, she was forced to rethink her approach to teaching. This collection of blog posts from over the past ten years track her evolution towards becoming a critical digital pedagogue. Highlights include the implementation of peer-driven learning in her courses, the growing awareness of adjunct instructor issues and how it impacts teaching and learning, as well as growing unease over technology use. Most importantly, this book illustrates that great teachers are not just born, but can be made through careful attention, reflection, and effort.

This book explores the amazing journey of Anne Hebert's writing into English by people "in the middle" of the process of editing, publishing, distributing, and preservation.
