Nov 13: honored to be invited by the talented and committed @lizbethdsantana.bsky.social to participate in a panel on deported veterans at Baruch College, drawing on my research for Green Card Soldier.

How are we already entering November... Amidst it all, it feels a bit weird to do normal things like talks, but here I go:
11/3: Wake Forest sociology department visit
11/13: Baruch College panel on deported vets
11/14: Boston University Law Review Symposium

That feeling when you didn't want to be part of breaking peer review but you didn't keep track when saying yes and then you go thru your emails... 🫠 Also 2 book reviews because I'm a book review editor and I know how hard it is to find reviewers. So I cave immediately.

Once upon a time, Caroline and I were fighting to build a democratic faculty union at UMass Boston. It makes me so happy that she is now president, with a team of amazing activists in leadership.

This is from a 2023 rally commemorating a year of CUNY faculty, staff, and grad students working without a contract. And we are still without a contract. I am ready for raises that exceed inflation, job security for adjuncts, and a new deal for CUNY! Photo by @oliviawood.bsky.social

I finally made the move. Thanks to everyone who followed even though my timeline is blank. It feels a little daunting to start from scratch but I promise to post soon. Meanwhile, a supermoon in Brooklyn.
