Many academic papers could be half as long—or less. But we write them to be self-contained and accessible to a broad scholarly audience, so we repeat background, define well-known terms, pad the argument just to be safe. And then publishers restrict the number of footnotes.
In an ideal world, a paper would be short, dense, even cryptic—and followed by a massive apparatus of notes explaining context, terminology, prior work, alternatives. Instead, we do the opposite: long main text, minimal notes

I've just been gratefully reminded that academic writing can be an act of love, justice, and care, as well as "the very essence of what it means to be human" (p. 265).

I🧡Laurel Richardson's approach to academic writing generally and this, specifically, because of the focus on writer agency, choice, & the complexities of referring to the 'world' (or REALITY).
