Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

The university years represent a peak period of risk for the onset of mental health struggles, but at the same time provide a venue for students to grow their self-awareness, adopt new coping strategies, and expand their intellectual powers. Could English studies support students in this journey through the medium of writing itself? This paper explores how writing for well-being can be incorporated into the study of English at university, providing practical insights for educators seeking innovative ways to support students while expanding the scope of English as a field of study. A focus on literature as a tool for well-being further contributes to the conversation on cognitive and affective approaches to reading by suggesting how analysing life writing and poetry for therapeutic potential may allow students to leverage both analytical and emotional approaches in the appreciation of literary texts and their larger purpose for humanity.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
