Welcome to Sabbatical Studio

Create space for growth and clarity

Support for academics planning a sabbatical or intentional time away from work to step back, gain perspective, and more forward with purpose

Space Changes how you see things

Stepping away from work (even briefly) can change how you understand it.

Maybe you’re burned out and wondering how much longer you can keep going. Maybe you’re feeling stuck or disconnected from work that once felt meaningful, and ready for something different. Maybe you’ve reached a milestone and realized you’re not sure what comes next. Or maybe you just know you’re ready for a break, whether you’re eligible for sabbatical or not.

In these moments, creating space for reflection, perspective, and realignment can make all the difference.

That’s what sabbaticals and intentional breaks can offer.

Support for Sabbaticals & Intentional Time Away

Whether you’re anticipating a sabbatical, already in one, or just feeling the need for a break outside a traditional sabbatical window, I offer support to help you create meaningful space in your work and life. Whether it’s a fully funded sabbatical or self-designed time away built into work, I’ll work with you to make the most of this time.

I’m Liz, and I believe we need space to sustain our best work.

I’m a professor who believes in the power of time away to reevaluate our work and renew ourselves.

As an academic, I’ve experienced many years of life in constant work mode. Over time, this helped me earn promotions and awards, but it didn’t help me connect with what mattered. What did help was creating space: through sabbaticals, intentional breaks, travel, and time away from constant productivity.

I created Sabbatical Studio to support academics in making the most of sabbaticals and informal periods of time away, both professionally and personally. My perspectives on time away have been featured in Inside Higher Ed.
