Commonplace Books and the Material World

honing in with Jillian Hess

I’m excited to introduce you to today’s guest on Honing In, Jillian Hess!

As a long-time reader of her popular Substack, Noted, I’m thrilled to welcome Jillian onto the podcast to discuss our mutual love of archives, translating academic materials for the general public, and paper notebooks.

Listen Now

Check out the episode to hear Jillian and me chat about:

  • Noted as public intellectualism and an extension of her role as a teacher

  • The experience of writing an academic book vs. one for a general audience

  • Why reading creative thinkers’ notebooks humanizes them and empowers us

This episode is a treat for anyone interested in history and getting into the mind of our most-famous creative thinkers. I can’t wait to see what this inspires in you!

Take care and talk soon,
Dr. Kate
