Abstract
Brief excerpt from interview: I tend to be a detailed-oriented person, so I think that helps [with my] writing in terms of unpacking the nuances of certain things. Especially when I'm doing critical analysis, a lot of times it's maybe this really broad concept that you find challenging, [or] it also can be a broad concept and that's important to challenge... I think sometimes there's certain things in articles that you'll read and [a few points] will kind of not resonate with you, and so I think critiquing [those areas] would be a strength... I think I'm pretty good at [summaries], but I think some of the like critiquing stuff is a new skill, so I'm still kind of working on that... I feel like you can't do a critical analysis unless you critically read because... [if] you take everything [in textbooks] as fact, then you can't critically analyze it, because... you won't challenge it even if you have your own objections to it.
