Academic career
Sword grew up in southern California. She gained an MA at Indiana University in 1986. After completing a PhD at Princeton University on comparative literature in 1991, Sword taught for ten years in the English department of Indiana University. She moved to the University of Auckland in 2001, rising to full professor.[1]
Sword has published several books on academic writing. When Sword's 2017 book Air & Light & Time & Space: How Successful Academics Write, Professor Inger Mewburn, said "Helen Sword is, hands down, one of the best writers on academic writing working today. The difference between Sword and other people working the writing advice patch is that she uses an interesting range of research approaches to inform her work. A new book from Sword is a nerdishly exciting moment for research educators like me and always an automatic buy."[2]
In 2023 Sword was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society Te Apārangi. The society described Sword as "a world-leading expert on academic writing across the disciplines. As an international authority on modernist poetry, she has published books and articles that have expanded our understanding of the contradictory cultural and aesthetic forces at work in the poetry of twentieth-century authors including Yeats, Eliot, Lawrence, H.D. and Rilke. ... Her ground-breaking scholarship on academic writing has been praised by her peers for its rigorous evidence base and its skilful integration of theory and practice."[3]
