Got to head back to Ohio to hood my former student, Dr. Angga Hidayat last week. Always fun to put on these ridiculous robes and see old friends, like disability science educator Tiffany Wild!

Folks going to #AERA2025 in Denver! PLEASE stop by the Reclaiming Denver's Chinatown exhibit on the mezzanine level of concourse C (on your way in or out). It is not one to miss and the local advocacy group (CAPU) has done some phenomenal revitalization work in this space.

For those at #AAAL2025, get to the airport a little early and check out the powerful exhibit on Reclaiming Denver’s Chinatown on the mezzanine level of concourse C. 🫶🏽

Whew! Just taught the last class of my first semester at Cal State Fullerton. I’m an emotional mess. Didn’t realize how much I needed to be surrounded by so many first-gen students, students from immigrant communities, and students who fight for justice. I’m honored to be here.

Awesome! This looks so cool, congratulations!
