Adventures in Academia #1,
I H ave no Idea What I’m Doing (2019) by Kirsty Fife
This zine is the first in a series in which Kirsty writes about their experience of being a PhD student, reflecting on their identity and how this affects the experience, for good and ill. This zine appeared just as I had also tentatively approached academic research, and highlighted similar struggles to the ones I was having. I love researching but often feel at odds within academia, that I don’t fit, and was on the verge of giving-up my project – but this zine showed me a way through. The subjective ‘I’ of zines can produce the most generous writing.
