It’s been a busy couple of months! Here are a few highlights I tried some new reading & writing techniques and failed at them. Coming to terms with the fact that I just need to read pretty much everything. Interesting thing: as I do that, the reading seems to go a wee bit swifter. I…
Yes, I am a Perfectionist. I have known this for years, but I haven’t found any real solution. Okay, I admit, I haven’t really looked for one, as far as I recall. I knew that my perfectionism would come around to bite me in the ass at some point sooner or later. And it has….
So I voted today. I didn’t have wifi access, so had to switch things up with the technique. Instead of doing step two (looking into other, similar books), I did step 3: reading the introduction. That whole “read fast” thing? I failed. I got through 18 of 20 pages in about 3 hours. Granted, I…
Earlier this year, Grad School Ninja posted an instruction sheet called How to Raid an Academic Book in 4 Hours. I vaguely recall squealing with joy. (Also this is probably the fourth time I’ve screwed up your analytics by leaving the tab open for some ridiculous amount of time. I’m sorry Prof. Nance.) Grandiose plans ensued….
that I had the time or at least the wherewithal to give y’all an update, alas… Suffice it to know the following: Summer was not what I planned, but it worked out (mostly) well, anyway. Year Two is off to a rough start. People suck ass. Except helpful upperclassmen. They rock. Also, my cohort. They…
I look forward to reading this! These young women are AMAZING!

It finally happened! As many of you know, I worked on the first ever count of homeless youth in Washington, DC last year. Due to a long string of unfortunate incidents in the nonprofit world & DC politics, the report didn’t get published until after I started my PhD studies. Unfortunately, it didn’t have my…
So this summer, I’ve been working for a local nonprofit that does community organizing*. I’m basically the admin assistant, so I don’t get to do any organizing, but I’ve learned a lot anyway. And fortunately, they also let me sit in on a training they just had! I didn’t get to keep a manual (none…
Last month, I attended the first ever Summer School on Socioeconomic Inequality at the University of Chicago. World renowned scholars Steven Durlauf & James Heckman pulled together 30 up & coming scholars (mostly economists) from around the world to listen & engage around socioeconomic inequality. The goal of the program was to show the gang how to apply economic tools to issues of…
