Conferences season hits different as an #ECR. #FOMO is brutal, when you’re not affiliated, you’re stuck watching it all unfold on socials—knowing you’re missing key opportunities. There has to be more support for indep researchers and ECRs outside institutions. They deserve a seat at the table too!

Just wrapped up an inspiring time at the #DanceResearchMatters Festival— celebrating the past, present & future of dance research.

So many powerful conversations, performances & connections. Feeling energized by the work being done across the field.

Dance is knowledge. Let’s keep moving. 💃📚✨

❓Anyone using AI tools for scholarly work? 🤖 📚 If so, which ones—and how are they helping (or not)?

Curious for research reasons - what’s out there, what people are using and what’s actually useful!
