Just me and my sad office plant against the world.

Gaither and Sommers were on it!
"Trump’s false confidence in the essentialized either/or nature of identity leads him to believe that once he knows what you are, he’ll also know how you’ll think and act.
...
Acknowledging the existence of multiracial identities completely scrambles this perspective and upsets the stereotypes that Trump holds close to his heart." -
Have to say, the new ASA Career Center is exponentially better than the previous job bank system. No login required to search, nice interface that rivals other job sites, and email alerts that take you straight to the job ad.
Kudos to whoever got this done!

I was pretty down about the whole #dissertation proposal process though. Part of this was because everything seemed so unclear, even when I'd ask for guidelines. That lack of clarity also led to some critical #feedback.
So I reflect on feedback in #gradschool (again). This post is more... reflection I needed to process & get off my chest. Hits on #HiddenCurriculum themes again & #MentalHealth in grad school/while #dissertating.

I blog pretty inconsistently about #GradSchool. But recently I completed my #DissertationProposalDefense & that seemed worth a few posts. I wrote abt what the proposal defense was like (structure) for me.
Experiences vary but I hope that honestly sharing my experiences = doing my part to dismantle the #HiddenCurriculum.
At the very least this lets my family & friends know what in the world I'm doing in my #phd.

Both Michelle Boyd (Becoming the Writer You Already Are) & Helen Sword (Writing with Pleasure) talk abt the usefulness of having your own writing metaphor. When I first read Boyd, I decided mine was hiking. But overall hiking is enjoyable and currently, writing is a slog. So a new metaphor to tide me over:

Every year I have to relearn that my work pace in the summer won't be the same as the school year. I think I'm getting the hang of it this week (half day in the office, half day outside).

I use memos a lot in data analysis, but an unintended benefit I only just recognized today is a psychological one.
Memos feel way more low stakes than adding paragraphs to my dissertation chapter drafts. I'll probably cut and paste today's memo directly into my dissertation, but I wrote it with none of pressure I'd normally feel to "get it right."

Transcribing interviews has me measuring time in pages.
"Wow we talked (about X) for 8 pages!"
"Oh they only had a half a page to say on Y?"

I may have scheduled too many interviews this week. Not sure my interviewing stamina is back where it needs to be yet.
But today's first interview was a no-show. This might be fine. 🤷🏻♀️

Resumed interviews again this week. Relieved and pleased to report that they are still a blast. Maybe this is why I haven't abandoned academia.
-
I'm having a hard time getting back into things this semester, so I thought I might start doing consistent #DissertationThoughts posts as form of accountability, venting, & processing ideas.

Well now I'll be paying extra close attention to when/how my multiracial participants talk about blondes 👀🍿

How did I only work for one full day and then expect it to be the weekend oh no

Wow I'm delighted that #WaterfallWednesday is a thing. First #Bloomscrolling, now this.
Academics, maybe we need some pithy hashtags to increase engagement too. #MondayMethods? #WritingHackWednesday? #NewResearch...Thursday?
#SocAF on Twitter did something similar.

If you work on a college campus, remember, leaving campus early is a good deed (freeing up a parking space for someone else).
Do your part. Go home early.

This line in Barbara Baig's writing book triggered a memory: "most adults are very self-conscious about learning anything new."
Years ago I took an ink painting class at my local arts center. A middle-aged woman cried because she wasn't immediately good at it. To me this is a convincing case for #ungrading.

Final grades for my summer class submitted today! Any post-teaching recovery ideas? I still have small deadlines but whew it feels good to wrap an intensive daily class. 🙌

Late finding this, but it's great.
"In Kamala Harris’s Blackness, I See My Own" - Danzy Senna
"We are and always have been a Rorschach test for how the world is processing its anxiety, rage, confusion and desire about this amorphous construction we call race."

"Multiracial American voters say they have heard similar derogatory remarks about their identities their whole lives."
And multiracial voters are only going to growww. Young people make up the largest percent of multiracial Americans, and many are nearing voting age.
While far from a unified voter bloc, candidates will have to at least consider how their remarks will come across... or at least not sound so horribly ignorant.

I'm looking forward to presenting my work at the Critical Mixed Race Studies Association Conference this June. This will be my first time attending in-person!

Public consensus is that Vanessa displayed terrible interviewing skills in the #LoveIsBlindReunion. Not enough follow-up questions, clear bias, spending too much time talking instead of listening.
Instructors currently teaching #QualitativeMethods, this is the pop culture example for you.

Continuing the rundown of my work, I was excited to start merging #research & #art with @jessicacalarco in our collaboration for #VisualStudies. We drew on her #PandemicParentingStudy interview data & discussed how to translate themes visually. Then I produced three illustrations.
Again, I'm grateful to the journal and our gracious reviewers. I'm always expecting pushback on #ArtsBasedResearch.
