Last week, scholar Leonard Cassuto (@LCassuto) gave a fantastic presentation on the importance of accessible academic writing. Making careful use of jargon and thoughtfully guiding readers through a narrative, academic writing makes an impact when we write as if readers matter.

Professor Leonard Cassuto on the unique appeal of the Dublin Literary Award:
