I'm back safely in Fayetteville after spending a few days at the APPAM meeting in Seattle. My very first APPAM was in Atlanta back in 2004 when I was just starting my Ph.D. studies at OU, so I've been going to this fantastic conference for over 20 years.

Safely arrived in Seattle for APPAM. I left my phone at home in a rush this morning, so I'm doing everything the old-fashioned way. It should be an interesting conference.😊 Looking forward to the next couple of days!

This is happening next Thursday at 3:30 PM PT at Hyatt Regency Seattle, 5th Floor, Room 501 - Chiwawa. If you are attending the APPAM meeting next week, I look forward to seeing many of you there!
PSJ’s Editor-in-Chief, Dr. @gbsong.bsky.social, will join Dr. Erdal Tekin and Dr. Cassandra Hart for a panel discussion — a great opportunity for early-career policy scholars to learn more about the publication process and engage directly with journal editors.

Had great conversations with fire chiefs & emergency managers alongside Kay Goss (former FEMA Associate Director) about what “resilience beyond FEMA” really means. Frontline professionals are doing heroic work to keep communities safe amid new, complex risks. Truly thankful!

The conference starts tomorrow, and my MPA students want to take a break after the long trip. I was not prepared for this, but this is what we decided to do.
