Students of color talk about being in Predominantly white institutions. Only in the last year was I on a panel at a national conference where every single one of us was a PhD Indigenous Student. This hit me hard. Check out Kimberly's video! #TikTok vm.tiktok.com/TTPdkYwqrh/

Dr. Keisha-Khan Perry, Professor of social anthropology focused on questions of race, gender, urban geography and citizenship. Black feminist transformational anthropology and pure Auntie energy. #BlackHistoryMonth2022 #CiteBlackWomen

Dr. Cathy Cohen beautifully weaves race, gender, sexuality, class and ethnicity under studies of power and intersectionality. If ever I could pattern work after anyone, Dr. Cohen's work stands as a huge inspiration. #BlackHistoryMonth2022 #CiteBlackWomen

For #CiteBlackWomenSunday we would like to put two amazing books in conversation as both authors discuss the impact of African American women in American music. From the blues, to funk, to pop, Black women laid the foundation for aspects of various genres.

Data disaggregation helps us understand differences in outcomes across AAPI groups, but that doesn't mean there aren't opportunities for solidarity and unity across groups. Learn more from Karthick Ramakrishnan and Janelle S. Wong janellewong.bsky.social below! x.com/i/spaces/1jMJg…

I co-authored this piece with Dr. Lane Gillespie from Boise State School of Public Service criminal justice program. This work is not possible without our Idaho Tribal communities and grassroots orgs working on #MMIP boisestate.edu/bluereview/ele…

My Academic Auntie dreams come true next week. My Native Hawaiian Survey team will meet the Guahan Survey Team William pereira. Look for us at panels in REP, APAC-mini conference, and the gala/fundrasiser/dance! We have two undergraduate students traveling all the way from Guam.

Outside of my dissertation committee and a few lone folks holding down the fort in Gender Equity and Student Equity...Boise State had used up and bled out all my favorite people.

Today, I sit with a lot of gratitude for Dr. Tony Affigne, who after providing kick ass feedback on my WPSA conference paper, took the time to connect me to scholars working on Indigenous issues. An hour conversation and a couple of emails can provide so much to junior scholars.

Today, I celebrate a new milestone. One of many I hope to receive. My first peer review rejection from Political Science and Politics! With Steve Utych

For children of the 90s, our paper "married with children" on intermarriage + racial attitudes just dropped (2016 CMPS). Mahalo to my co-authors: Natasha Altema McNelly and @edwarddvargas. Find it Politics, Groups, & Identities.

Native women activists continue to inspire me. A sobering reminder I have a higher chance of dying than getting my PhD. #MMIW #MMIR
