So excited for @rmclas-conference.bsky.social starting on Wednesday! It’s so difficult being an independent scholar and struggling to find work, but I’m really looking forward to talking about my asylum work and seeing so many friends and colleagues in Ottawa! Here’s hoping there’s big things ahead
