Very much looking forward to my first talk of 2023--and visiting Durham!
Yes, this event will be in person but there is a live zoom option for those who are unable to join us!
@[email protected] Weaving histories of art, technology and disability, Jai will be exploring how Dorothy Brett's “The Stokowski Symphony” captures the ways in which the artist’s experiences of music were mediated by her hearing aids.

Another month, another specialist.
Post-chemo recovery is long and slow, but I'm grateful to have a wonderful care team who provide me with the necessary tools to ensure that I stay healthy and cancer-free.
After five years of living here, it still feels unsettling not to see snow on the ground in January.
For our lunch walk today, I went out wearing my light spring jacket. Then I saw these snowmen and laughed.
I may have been born in the middle east, but I absolutely love the cold and snowy days of winter. Bundling up, staying cozy under a blanket, taking walks and breathing in the crisp air, these are moments that make the winter months enjoyable.
It doesn't snow a lot in Delaware.
And I know it's the standard of academia and privilege gives us the option of choosing how we want to mold our time...but frankly I hate that this is what we've come to expect.
I move away from this now. I teach my grad students to prioritize rest and well-being.
Truthfully, I used to view a busy planner as indicative of a busy life. It was how I viewed how productive I was being, how much I was accomplishing.
Hyperproductivity is an illusion. To achieve this requires giving up so much--including your peace.
