At turns hilarious, depressing, and inspiring, Graham\u2019s book presents a contemporary take on the academic memoir, but rather than celebrating the victories, he reflects on the failures and considers their impact on his intellectual and professional development. These aren\u2019t heroic tales of overcoming odds or paeans to failure as evidence for a macho willingness to take risks. They\u2019re honest lessons laced with a genuine humility that encourages us to think about making it safer for ourselves and others to fail.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>History Professor Shawn Grahan&#8216;s new book Failing Gloriously and Other Essays has now been published by the Digital Press at the University of North Dakota.
