For whatever reason, I never tweeted about when I defended my dissertation or got either of my post-PhD jobs. I think I struggle with sharing good news? So it's with a ton of joy that I share that as of 7/1, I will be tenured and promoted to Associate Professor!!!
This is past due, but I'm exiting this site pretty much now. You can find me on instagram (though not much professional stuff happening there, mostly my dog), I'll try to remember my password for bluesky, you can always find my institutional email on the internet.
2 great opportunities coming out of ACPA's Commission for Faculty and Graduate Programs!! 1) Want to join the commission as a directorate member? Nominate yourself (or someone else!) here: forms.gle/PksT7oCZBMTsGJ1P6

Big BIG ups to my friend and collaborator @DrGMBettencourt today!! 1) She is the newest member-at-large on the @ASHEoffice board!!! 2) She spearheaded our op-ed in @insidehighered that appeared this morning: insidehighered.com/opinion/v…
Just submitted grades for the last class I'll teach for a year. Don't get me wrong, I adore my students and teaching is what really keeps me in academia - it brings me so much joy. But it's hard to be engaged and empathetic and timely and all that!! And I'm tired 😴😴😴
Sabbatical hasn't officially started yet, but I went to the grocery store in voluminous, flowy overalls and crocs in the middle of a Tuesday, so I have high hopes.
Anyway, also, I'm looking for virtual or IRL writing buddies for the coming year! DM me!
So sad to hear of Dr. Caroline Turner's passing. I didn't know her personally, but her ASHE presidential address is one my faves - "Lessons from the Field: Cultivating Nurturing Environments in Higher Education" is well worth the read.
It's never too late (apparently): my first solo-authored paper just dropped!! Titled "Disciplining Diversity: Bureaucracy and the Reach of Institutional Policy," it's in the newest volume from Philosophy and Theory in Higher Education: ingentaconnect.com/content/p…
I've been hoping to publish in this journal since it started several years ago. The editors and reviewers were wonderful to work with. I am also very grateful to Zeke Kimball and Sharon Stein for reading and commenting on the paper in various stages!
Any recommendations for resources about recruiting undergrad student participants without relying on email? Asking for a friend, my students, me...
