For Valentine's Day, six romance novels set in academia

For Valentine's Day, six romance novels set in academia

Emily Miller

“These books in one way or another reflect themes not only in my work but also in my time thus far in academia. I enjoy reading about characters with similar doubts, banter, journeys, and questions as me. For some, these books might be too close to home — especially at this time of year — but I like to lean in and appreciate the connection and ultimate triumph, even if it is fictional.”

Seeing like a student

Seeing like a student

Kyung Eun Lee

“That’s why my site of enjoyment, not quite here or there, makes the contradiction in just existing so recognizable. It’s jarring and comforting at the same time. Everything that seems unnatural and out of place is a testimony to the usual comfort of nature; every imperfection signals the great potential of what could be.”

An ode to the return trip

Joshua Yang

“I will forever be grateful to this charming, underfunded public transportation system for creating a liminal space in which I could simply exist, explore, imagine, and dream. In those rocking, ugly train carriages, I existed in the in-between.”

Clinging onto Lunar New Year

Joshua Yang

“Some part of me fears that once I graduate and no longer have an abnormally long winter break to spend at home, Lunar New Year will be consigned to the same scrap heap of obscurity that Thanksgiving and Christmas currently occupy in my mind.”

The exceptions

The exceptions

José Pablo Fernández García

“Either way, the exception carries a double-edged sword — glory and pain. How, why, do such things, even in less extremes, coexist? This is what made my friend’s comment somewhat haunting. Being the exception is a distinction: it aggrandizes and alienates at once.”

The Self essay

José Pablo Fernández García

Growing up Buddhist during the holiday season

Albert Lee

Regina Roberts

“How can one trace the steps of someone who seems to be everywhere? As they travel across the world following clue after clue, the audience wonders if they are actually in search of the myth, or for meaning in their own life.”

Hana Widerman

“It’s nice to feel like this, to have a sense of purpose. I think storytelling has always been my through-line. Linnea was talking about how language itself isn’t a home. It's what you make of language that makes language a home.”

Wilson Conn

“However, in truth, the movie might not actually be about much at all. Perhaps it was simply the aging Spielberg’s nostalgic attempt to preserve the story of his family for posterity in the wake of his parents’ recent passing.”
