Description

CAMPOREE: Beyond the Citation: Reading for the Love of It

We read to publish.
We read to keep up.
We read to cite and synthesize and survive.

But we also read for something else.

In this conversation-style CAMPOREE, Leslie H. Nicoll, PhD, MBA, RN, FAAN, Writer’s Camp Director and Eileen Lake, PhD, RN, FAAN, Editor-in-Chief of Research in Nursing & Health, will reflect on their reading lives—how they began, how they’ve changed, and how reading for pleasure sustains writing, thinking, and professional life.

Together, they’ll explore:

  • How reading habits evolve across seasons of life and career
  • What draws us to certain books (strong female protagonists? wide wanderings?)
  • Audio vs. Kindle vs. paper—does the format change the experience?
  • Why reading beyond our discipline can deepen our scholarly voice

This will not be a formal presentation per se, but a guided, reflective conversation—an invitation to reconnect with reading as nourishment, not obligation.

Especially meaningful for students and early-career scholars, but open to anyone who wants to remember why they fell in love with books in the first place.
