Got a decision to make: A journal is inviting me to review an article that I already reviewed twice through another journal that eventually rejected the paper. Do I accept or reject this invitation? #peerreview

One thing I didn’t know but don’t regret knowing now about doing ethnography is to hear death news of my research participants. It is extremely hard to remain neutral and objective especially when they had become friends and some were like family. 🕯️#ethnography #dissertation

I will be presenting my paper titled "How Place Matters in Survivors’ Home Coming After the 2020 Holiday Farm Fire Disaster" at the Land, Placemaking and Place Attachment roundtable in ASA. See you in Philadelphia in a few months! #ASA2023

I look forward to sharing part of my dissertation research at the International Sociological Association's annual conference #isa_sociology held in Melbourne, Australia in June. I appreciate the organizers' inclusive approach that I will be presenting remotely from Eugene OR.

I highly recommend in-person only this talk. Location: Eugene, Oregon USA

Happening right now at ISA at 12:30am PDT I will be presenting part of my dissertation research “The Disaster Survivors’ Creative Pursuit of Home after Fire.” Super funny session host Dr. Imran Sabir. Thanks for bringing humor to our session👍🏼

Summer writing with fellow dissertating grad colleagues from the University of Oregon #WeLoveEugene

I just want to share that the qualitative data analysis software I have been using to code my dissertation project erased all my coding work. Codes are empty now. No linkages to media. How can this be possible, I wonder? What a disaster! Yes, I’m troubleshooting with dedoose.

Finding encouragement in feedback from anonymous reviewer of my current research on the 2020 Holiday Farm Fire in rural Oregon: "This is a humane, empathic, and morally serious study of the trauma of displacement by wildfire." 🙏 #CenterForEngagedScholarship

Feeling absolutely terrible upon learning the death of my research participant. #mentalhealthcare #ruralpoverty #disasterrecovery

Been reading Benjamin Zephaniah's poetry since his death and this one made my breath catch in my throat. Ceasefire now

20,000 dead. 2 million displaced. Ten weeks. Every person who can act, every person who can speak, must do so. We are responsible for one another.

Lubna Elyan, a 14-year old musician, died in an Israeli strike on Al Nuseirat camp alongside 45 members of her extended family, including her parents and siblings Zein, Kinan, and Sari. A student at the Edward Said National Conservatory of Music, she loved the violin.

So proud of my Union - the Graduate Teaching Fellow Federation. #unionpower

Lyllye B. Parker talks about her experience working in academia and growing up in Eugene OR, as a woman of color. So uplifting to see the Eugene communities gather like this at the University of Oregon. #diversity #UOwomenscenter #womenofcolor #universityoforegon

Pleasure to speak about my Sociology journey with an amazing panel of SOC grad colleagues at the University of Oregon. Next Wednesday!
