Get more from your sabbatical

Sabbaticals are rare opportunities to reflect and grow – professionally and personally.

I started Sabbatical Studio to help academics at every stage of the sabbatical journey, and to support those pursuing self-directed renewal outside a traditional leave. My goal is to help you carry the clarity and growth of your leave into everyday academic life.

Let’s rethink sabbaticals and academic renewal

I’m Liz, a professor who studies identity and meaning and believes we need better ways to prepare for, experience, and extend the impact of academic leaves. Over the past decade, I’ve experienced multiple forms of stepping away. Each has reshaped how I think about work, identity, and meaning.

Formal and informal time away can open space for reflection, renewal, and realignment. That’s why I started Sabbatical Studio: to support academics in building long, creative careers that evolve alongside their lives.
