Биография и Путь Автора

Emily Rath built her writing life along an unusual path, moving from childhood storytelling to advanced academic work and then back to fiction with unusual force. Raised in Northern Kentucky, she wrote from an early age, then set imaginative work aside for higher education and a career in political science. She earned a BA in political science and philosophy, two MAs in political science, and PhDs in peace studies and political science, later teaching modern African politics, international relations, development studies, and peace studies as a university professor. The major turning point came while she was living in Malawi conducting doctoral research: with limited electricity, limited internet access, and a young child at home, writing became both her evening entertainment and the practice that drew her back to authorship in earnest.
