PhDone.

Today I defend my dissertation. If you need me, I’ll be toggling between “I was born for this” and “what if I forgot how words work?” #PhD #Phdvoice

I’m rereading my dissertation in preparation for my defense next week. It’s been surprisingly enjoyable to rediscover things I forgot I wrote!

I've been sitting on my dissertation conclusion for weeks, unsure if I even want to finish. After 7 years of work, the end feels overwhelming. But today…I may have just finished it. 😭 #PhDLife #PhDVoice

I’ve been over here a while, but haven’t posted yet. Looks like lots of people are migrating here. If I don’t know you yet, I’d like to introduce myself.

Hi. My name is Jon. I’m a historian of Latino religion. I research religion and politics in the Mexico-US borderlands.
