Tomorrow catch me on the webseries “Talking Politics” which is affiliated with Univ. of Chicago and UC Boulder to talk about how the military is a queer institute 🫨.

I’ll be drawing on linguistic anthropology frameworks to discuss how perceptions about the military are in constant contestation and demonstrating how through these frameworks we can examine these political arguments across different modalities that regulate who serves.

I recently accepted a new position (in addition to teaching virtually) and the social scientist in me wants to do a case study about working from home and entering new communities of practice.

From personal experience, it’s not always my immediate colleagues I ask for help. It’s also a burden on those colleagues to expect to learn about an entire organization just from them. Last, I would consider how e-correspondence implicates how we ask for help (and whom).

Last weekend was a great weekend for a family bike ride!
