I once took a methods class in grad school in the political science department. The first day we shared our research projects. I said, “I study policing,” to which a PhD student asked why I was there since it didn’t have to do with political science 🫠

PCH, Malibu, and the Palisades have always been my go-to places for healing and reflection, even before moving to LA. Over the past couple of weeks, I spent more time there than just about anywhere else as I struggled through several life changes. Now, this entire stretch is devastated.

My two cents: not only should general readers pick this up, professors need to assign this to their undergrads ASAP. I’ll be revising my syllabus to include this as one of students’ options for their book reviews 🤞🏼
