Interview with Dr Deborah Mix on Research and Publication
<p>I recorded this interview at the beginning of Ramadan, and I'm so glad that it will be published at last. I believe that research and publications are important and are worth paying attention to if you are pursuing your higher studies or simply completing your bachelor degree. In this interview we look at the process of publication and how to find that academic space where you can voice your argument and publish. </p> <p><strong>Dr Deborah M. Mix is Professor of English at Ball State University, where she teaches courses in American literature. She is the author of </strong>"A Vocabulary of Thinking": Gertrude Stein and Contemporary North American Women's Experimental Writing<strong> (Iowa 2007) and the co-editor, with Logan Esdale, of </strong>Approaches to Teaching the Works of Gertrude Stein <strong>(MLA 2018). Her essays on American poetry have appeared in collections like </strong>Revisiting the Elegy in the Black Lives Matter Era <strong>(Routledge 2020), </strong>Approaches to Teaching Baraka's <strong>Dutchman (MLA 2018), and </strong>The Cambridge History of Twentieth-Century American Women Poets <strong>(Cambridge 2016) as well as in journals including </strong>Contemporary Women's Writing<strong>, </strong>Studies in the Humanities<strong>, and </strong>American Literature<strong>.</strong></p>
