The writing process with Dan O'Neill

In this video, I have a conversation with Dan O'Neill about the pains and gains of the writing process.

Dan is a prolific writer, his last work was published in the journal Nature Sustainability. To visualise and compare the environmental and social performance of nations relative to a “safe and just” development space visit the interactive website created for his latest paper.

Dan received his Ph.D. five years ago from the University of Leeds where he is now a lecturer. In the video, I ask Dan why and how he writes - what he finds challenging, when is he satisfied with his work, and what he has improved since finishing his PhD.

Dan shares with us some of his experiences and frustrations and provides tips on processes that have worked for him and may also work for others.

Enjoy!
