Entry-level Law prof job seekers: AALS FAR submissions are due in 10 days. As my procrastination today, I thought I'd provide some tips as I come off of two years as hiring chair here at @WashULaw. Here, in no particular order, some advice and thoughts, big picture + small bore:

The @michlawreview Book Review issue is out, and it’s a banger! I reviewed @Anna_Lvovsky’s “Vice Patrol”, exploring its lessons for today’s queer spaces. Vice Patrol is a great book for anyone interested in queer history, policing, expertise, and more!

Very grateful for @ariezrawaldman's review of VICE PATROL in @michlawreview--not just a deeply generous reflection on the book but (more importantly!) an insightful critique of regulation and surveillance against queer life today.

Great forum in this edition of the @history_law on @Anna_Lvovsky Vice Patrol which explores the history of policing LGBTQ in the midcentury. A vital history and book given the wave of anti-trans and anti-LGBTQ laws we’re witnessing across the US. #lawandhistory #legalhistory

A new paper of mine, "The Etiquette of Equality," is out in Philosophy & Public Affairs. It tackles a hard set of issues about how we convey respect amid social inequality. I hope others will find it thought-provoking, maybe even clarifying or useful. https://t.co/mRXVyvAItQ 1/6

So very grateful to @aearls for this incredibly generous review of VICE Patrol for @UrbanHistoryCUP--amplifying the book's core claims about surveillance and queer history, and raising thoughtful questions about how to tell stories about policing across geographic divides.
10/10 would recommend @Anna_Lvovsky's book, Vice Patrol: Cops, Courts, and the Struggle over Urban Gay Life before Stonewall. Loved it so much I reviewed it for Urban History

Congrats to @k_redburn (@ColumbiaLaw) for their review of Prof.@Anna_Lvovsky’s (@Harvard_Law) Vice Patrol in the @UChiLRev! In the “The Visibility Trap,” Redburn presents a new reading of antitrans policy and trans civil rights struggles through Lvovsky’s queer visibility theory.
Grateful to the incredible @k_redburn for this immensely rich and generous review of VICE PATROL--and to @UChicagoLaw Law Review for making space for both our research on queer visibility and politics. Looking forward to seeing Kate expand these themes in future work!
