As someone who’s been a professor at a state university for 22 years, I’d advise anyone teaching in higher ed to act as though everything you say in class, put in an email, write in the margins of a student essay will become public discourse.
Act as though you’re a target: you are.

"The Secret Lives of Church Ladies" was an absolute knockout of a collection, so I was beyond honored that my story was chosen by Deesha Philyaw to be included in this anthology. Thrilled to be in great company as well.

Some college administrators want to implement AI and chatbots into every facet of campus life because "it's the future," and they aren't particularly interested in guardrails or guidance. This article highlights why that's a bad idea.

I was lucky enough to read an ARC of What Mennonite Girls Are Good For, and I can honestly say it was one of the best collections I've read in the past decade. And I read A LOT.
