Bio
Althea Cupo is a Ph.D. Candidate at the University of Manchester who is tired of the discouragement and complaints she reads about going on academic Quests. She does not think getting a Ph.D. will be like camping in Mordor. People said that about grad school, and there was no truth in it. She is determined to enjoy the Quest and other good things like "food, or sleep, or work, or storytelling, or singing, or just sitting and thinking" (Tolkien, 1937/1997). If this sounds naïve, it probably is: it is Bilbo's Ph.D., after all.
