Fall 2023 Behind-the-Scenes Reading

Do YOU want to see what I spent my first semester in grad school reading? Of course you do. (There's a lot of Indigenous and queer scholarship.)

Usually, when I finish a reading that I know will be on the quarterly post, I write the small blurb as soon as I’m done, and I did start this semester doing that… but then came the annotated bibliography assignment. I had to stop doing blog write ups of my reading, because I had a big academic write up of my reading to do. But I’m back now! (It’s winter break and I only have teaching prep to…

Do you usually go on vacation during the summer?

No, not often during the summer--as a graduate student, peak travel season tends to be too expensive. We did go to Amsterdam over spring break two years ago, and would like to go to Iceland over an upcoming spring break, pandemic-permitting. Summers are spent closer to home, though, mostly hiking or camping when we have a free weekend.

Today has been kind of strange, slow morning (feat. sleepy cats Meep and Mushroom). In personal news, I ended up blocking my college roommate (gifter of the mug in the center photo) for especially egregious homophobia online, and it's just a weird vibe. Academically, I don't have any meetings today, and my only deadline is to return papers for my side-work within the next 24 hrs, which is nice. I'm feeling a little under the weather, anyways, so I've spent the morning knitting and listening to a new podcast ("Tell Me More!") by Wilfredo Flores. It's a podcast for graduate students to highlight their work, and his first episode is with now-Dr. Cana Uluak Itchuaqiyaq. They talk about Cana's work on Indigenous environmental sovereignty in technical communication, the publishing process and politics of citation in technical communication, and the decolonial turn. It's a really interesting and informative episode, and I look forward to future podcast episodes, even though I'm normally not much of a podcast person.
