Thank you!! Let me know if you have any questions!

😍 I'm so happy to hear that! If you have any questions, please let me know!

My book chapter, Don't Do More With Less: Sustainable Work as a Management Value, has arrived! This chapter explores my first years as a manager and how I did my best to embrace slow librarianship, push back on overcommitment and vocational awe, and make my department and its work sustainable. 📚📜

I've noticed a trend in requests for tenure reviews, asking letter writers to compare candidates to other "top" scholars at the same career stage. Can we please not do this?!?

Making tenure a moving and competitive target risks ratcheting up increasingly untenable expectations for productivity.

Interestingly, one of the institutions I profile in my book is able to give faculty raises every year, and the president attributed it to two factors: 1) control of administrator salaries and 2) control of salary differences between faculty in different disciplines.

Ever since Knowledge Justice's release, I've noticed that a lot of people seem unclear that CRT analysis can impact what day-to-day library work looks/feels like. This is what it looks like when @mariayakira.bsky.social, April Hathcock, and I apply CRT to our work together. #scholcomm #critlib

..., often for things that in the long-run are not that important?"

"What if we saw rest as protecting our capacity; our overall ability to show up at work and in our lives? What if we saw it as being as integral to our health as the medications we take? And why are we so willing to cheat ourselves out of rest...

It's a good thing that a significant portion of what we call "open science" isn't utterly and completely predicated on the continued existence of GitHub.

haha we what?

My @humetricshss.bsky.social colleagues and I have an op-ed in @lseimpactblog.bsky.social today. Take a peek: blogs.lse.ac.uk/impactofsoci...

Academia in 2025: For weeks I’ve been working through botched copy-edits of my monograph, outsourced by the publisher to a company I’d never heard of, until it finally dawned on me the terrible job might be AI.
