✨ New Publication Alert ✨

I’m very open about being a first-generation college graduate and I get asked a lot of my path to and through my Ph.D. This Autoethnography highlights pivotal experiences that led me from chemistry undergraduate to educational psychologist.
psycnet.apa.org/doi/10.1037/...

Black text on white background. Title reads, Storytelling as Praxis: Leveraging a Black Woman’s Critical Autoethnography to as First-Generation College Student to Explore Inequities and Imagine Possibilities in STEM Education

Thank you! Can’t wait to hear to your thoughts especially the discussion questions at the end 🫶🏾

Dr. DestinyShonte @destinywd.bsky.social · Aug 22

Always appreciate your support! Presenting this work in our 2024 AERA symposium was definitely a game changer and pushed my pen even more

Gotcha!

Do you like this genre? Just got back into my leisure reading and the pretend couple tropes are annoying

LinkedIn feels too curated and influencer-ish. I post every and now then and immediately leave. Something about LinkedIn feels too forced.

Miri Forbes @miriforbes.bsky.social · Jul 25

Does anyone have tips on how to use LinkedIn as an academic not looking for a job? I'm sensing you 'connect' with people you know and 'follow' people you don't? Should I accept 'requests to connect' from people I don't know? Do we just post the same research stuff as here but with more cheerfulness?

I gotta find a new hair stylist and I hate that for me. You know how hard it is to find a loctician who can do microlocs and won’t send a “hey boo” text or have an aggressive,brightly colored website with unnecessary rules? I might have to become a DIY girlie 😭
