Writing Book 3 - Who dunit? When you don’t know who dun what.

In this latest Think Education podcast episode, Judith and Chris talk about the process of beginning book number 3 and how they have become increasingly comfortable with embracing uncertainty.

Building on ideas generated in the first two books, where we looked at the landscape of international higher education (book 1) and the role and identity of universities (book 2), we are turning our attention to the individual.  To the experience and journey.

We talked about the process of idea generation and how we navigate the idea of developing the next book while working on the current one!

We talked about what we have learned writing together over the past few years and the impact that podcasting has had on our ability to develop ideas and to gain new perspectives from all the valuable conversations we have had in the past year.  Listening to people tell their stories was both fascinating and enlightening. It has helped to create ideas and content.

We are looking forward to the opportunity to engage once more with colleagues around the world and to learn from their individual experiences, their origin stories and the lessons they learned along the way.

Writing a book is not necessarily having everything planned or in place (an outline will of course be more than a little useful when approaching possible publishers) and can be about developing an idea and seeing where it takes you.
