A few days late, but the first meeting for my Intro to Cultural Rhetorics seminar (the first grad class I’m teaching) went well! The best part? Just how quickly students were able to connect the content to their own identities and positionalities, and their openness to share that

Excited to see ya’ll in Baltimore #4C25

Getting into Baltimore today for #4C25. Besides Poe’s grave, what else do I need to see?

#4c25 was incredibly fun; I got to learn from brilliant people, catch up with folx I don’t see often enough, and get to do a little sightseeing (cherry blossoms and Poe’s grave!). Dm me if we didn’t get to connect this time around—always happy to talk on Zoom or whatever!

Grateful to be included in this collection alongside so many brilliant scholars—what a great end to the semester! ☺️ #teamrhetoric #tpc #techcomm
