Get more from your sabbatical
Sabbaticals are rare, deep-dive opportunities to pause, reflect, and grow – professionally, personally, and creatively.
I started Sabbatical Studio to help academics at every stage of the sabbatical journey – from planning and mid-leave clarity to post-sabbatical reintegration – and to support those pursuing self-directed renewal outside a traditional leave. My goal is to help you carry the clarity, momentum, and growth of your leave into everyday academic life, because renewal doesn’t stop when the sabbatical ends.

Hi! I’m Liz
Let’s rethink sabbaticals – and academic renewal
I’m a professor who believes we need better ways to prepare for, experience, and extend the impact of academic leaves – or to build sabbatical-like clarity and reflection even without formal leave. My first sabbatical was equal parts growth and curveballs, and it convinced me that sabbaticals shouldn’t just be once-in-a-decade events. Both formal sabbaticals and informal time away present extraordinary opportunities for reflection and renewal. That’s why I started Sabbatical Studio: to share strategies, support, and inspiration for building long, creative academic careers that actually fit your life.
