Incredibly excited to share my first peer-reviewed journal article! “Managing the Migration” is in the newest edition of the JAEH. The article has been a long time coming, so hopefully it can be used and read widely @JournlAmEthHist @IEHS1965 @crres_iub @IUBHistory

@Citlalilucia @MinnaStern We loved having you!

The Centering Race and Disability in Histories of Eugenics was such as a joy to attend. On a personal level, the conference helped me rethink my relationship with my mother, who is disabled. On an intellectual level, the conference truly centered praxis. @ProfLiraN @MinnaStern
