I thoroughly enjoyed this conversation with Greg Berman for his project with the HF Guggenheim Foundation.

Brilliant gathering of Harry Frank Guggenheim Foundation #HFGAfricanFellows and mentors for an in-depth publishing workshop just ahead of #ASAUK2024 conference in Oxford. Such wide-ranging, open conversations about publication experiences and strategies. Honoured to take part.
