In this episode we talk to scholar Alena Cicholweski (Institute of English and American Studies, University of Oldenburg, Germany), about her research and publications, especially her article ‘A place where everybody is a legendary hero… and a total dork’which appeared in our recent Lonely Nerds special issue. We move on to talk about her experiences teaching academic writing and Muslin American cultural representations in pop culture. We finish as always by offering advice to potential early career authors for publishing in future issues of Exchangesand other journals.
