✨NEW PUB ALERT✨ Honored to share this work and introduce the concept of "Indigenous Placemaking" to show how place functions as a relative, teacher, memoryscape, and system of reciprocal relations. Place is not a backdrop upon which social life unfolds; it is who we are. 1/3

Settler-colonial nation building relies on child removal and the destabilization of tribes. Death camps parading as schools? This is strategic. This is genocide. Current foster/adoption rates show that this violence is ongoing. What are you going to do about it now that you know?

I want to see ALL of my friends win. Plain and simple. I'll never understand why folks hide and hoard. There is more than enough goodness in the world to go around.

#SocTwitter do we have a BIPOC group chat for assistant professors? If not, is there interest or one in the works? I can think of 15+ of us that want to invest in that space and share resources/hype. There is an excellent group for grads that helped us find each other years ago.

Whenever folks on the market (or eyeing the market) ask me about prestige or rank, I talk about how having colleagues you respect, appreciate, and truly enjoy is invaluable! I know that this isn't always a choice. Just reiterating that it matters. A lot.

A humble research/writing PSA: Not all gaps in the literature need to be filled, often there's a reason a gap exists so pay attention, and filling a gap just to fill it is rarely the best approach to research. Brought to you by the journal articles I'm reviewing. 🫠

We cannot keep living like this. And that's exactly the point. Our babies, mothers, fathers, cousins, and kin are dying bc the state believes we are disposable. We were born into this mourning and it often feels like we'll never know what it's like to live w/o this grief.
