For my PhD coursework this semester, I'm focusing a lot on public writing. Part of my graded portfolio will be a regular log of public writing in a journal format. The best way I know how to stay accountable and stay on top of assignments is to...well, make it public.

It’s been a journey these last few months listening to my body and just doing what I’m capable of instead of pushing for more.

The guilt for “underperforming” is real but sometimes you don’t have a choice.

Me: For my final, I’m going to do a literature review on the intersection of race formation and culture studies in the last 20 years.

Professor: wow, that’s ambitious

Me: is it? Wait, hold up I changed my mind…

It’s academic baby’s first attempt at reading Can the Subaltern Speak by G Spivak and I may need to YouTube the hell out of this to figure out what she’s talking about 🤦🏽‍♀️

I’m reading new-to-me theory paired with a romance novel every week. It’s incredible, but also my friends are already exhausted bc I want to talk about these moments of inspiration all the damn time, and they have no idea what I’m talking about.

My poor prof has to get my verbal vomit too. 🤦🏽‍♀️

There is a *lot* of love studies research happening in Australia at the moment, and this is a pretty good write-up of some of it, covering a lot of different disciplinary approaches.
Love story: Australian researchers becoming world leaders in the study of romantic love
It feels instinctive but research reveals that many aspects of romantic love we take for granted are socially constructed

I spent years in corporate DEI work but what’s hard for me to come to terms with now as a PhD student in English & Soc Justice is that in praxis there is a binary response to a theoretical problem but that is so far from the truth. Some of these problems do not and may not have a “right” solution.😭
