Respect the Marble is Catherine’s Substack. It is intended to be a space for writing that’s intentional, disciplined, and built to last. In a world of noise, it insists on clarity, on words that matter not just for what they say, but how they’re said.
Catherine started this Substack with two convictions. First, that clear writing isn’t a soft skill, it’s foundational. Yet in academia, we often treat it as secondary, part of a “hidden curriculum” that’s rarely taught. She believes writing is a craft, what she calls skillpower, and it can be learned, practiced, and strengthened. Second, she felt a growing need not just to write about the world, but into it. At a time when reflection is being pushed aside by speed and spectacle, this is a space for engaged scholarship, writing with presence, clarity, and care.
