Theory friends and colleagues: who is in your canon (not necessarily "the" canon)? What are the books that transformed you? That you keep returning to? That you just can't quit? That you think more people should read? That you think we should read more slowly or lovingly?

Today I woke up still a little in shock, but the paper trail tells me it's real.
This fall, I'll be starting a new position as an Assistant Professor of Identity Politics at Sacramento State University.

COVID is bringing many uncertainties and may lead to the loss of this opportunity. But,
successes are rare and I’ve decided to celebrate mine while I can. So:
I’ve accepted an offer to be a Visiting Lecturer of Politics for 2 years at Mount Holyoke College!

It happened to me: I got COVID at APSA.
Currently doing fine, grateful to be vaccinated, and staying home to rest and limit the spread to others. If you're looking for me and not getting a response, well this is why.

I’m getting more into podcasts as a way for students to connect with material beyond the textbook and shore up my own exposure to news, new research, etc. Do you have a favorite podcast app? What are your recs for shows and players?

If you’re still on the fence about whether to attend the WPSA maybe this will convince you. The feminist theory pre-conference workshop will feature Sara Rushing’s The Virtues of Vulnerability with discussing comments by yours truly! (1/)

I pulled out of APSA for a myriad of reasons weeks ago, but if someone needs a conference presentation or the like and wants to withdraw, I’m positive that the Contemporary Feminist Political Theory workshop can be an excellent virtual venue. Send me an email or DM to get started

1st observations of living in CA:
1. Strangers are nice
2. The sunshine is not overrated
3. When your landlord drops the ball on cleaning your new rental he makes it up by putting in new floors and giving you a rent reduction???
4. They really do offer avocado on anything

This is the hardest advice to give students but it’s so important. I love being an academic, but at the end of the day, academia will just never love me back. You have to be able to draw a line, you must be able to walk away.
Please don’t go get a PhD because you want to be a professor. The chances are so slim & the cost so high. Get a PhD because you want to learn research skills & study something deeply.

Give in class activities that have them read and look at the text then talk about it. Make it very structured, direct them to specific pages and passages, give them things to find, and encourage them to talk to each other to test their knowledge.

I went to Mount Holyoke's 2022 commencement to connect with students and barely saw any I knew.
I ended up getting quality time with my wonderful colleagues and honestly, after giving so much to students these last two years, this may have been what I *actually* needed.

Echoing the offer of many, I would be pleased to give feedback to colleagues (grad students and beyond) who will be missing out on feedback because they’ve pulled out of APSA. Feminist theory, democratic theory, madness and disability—these are my things. Get at me!
If you are a grad/ postdoc/ untenured political theorist who is wavering about
#APSA
because you are afraid of missing out on comments, send me your paper. I will give you comments. I specialize in Marx & Marxism, HPT, republicanism, ancient Greek thought.

A person I am close to (in academia) is a survivor of an over 10-year stalking ordeal. This is a great thread to learn more about this surprisingly common issue.
#medievaltwitter
As my bio says, I am MRO. So, I had a stalker as a PhD student who now has to stay far from me. I used a pseudonym on FB (still do) b/c he stalked me in person & online. Altho not always the case, women get harassed more often in/out of academia. 1/
