Excited to share this piece I wrote for @insidehighered about writing instruction and AI, based on work we've been doing here at @HCWEMiami with faculty across disciplines (and on learning and writing theory!) insidehighered.com/opinion/views/…

I just want to say how the grad students here at #NWSA2024 are absolutely ROCKING it!! So excited to learn from these scholars. Keep on slaying ✌️

@KishonnaGray Thank you so much!

@MandyRhae Great presentation!!! Appreciate you

I'm excited to present at the National Women's Studies Association conference in 2 weeks on grad student horizontal mentoring & how grad programs can create feminist, ethical environments! It's fun to present to a non-writing studies audience on things that concern all of us.

This talk is based on a forthcoming article Caitlin Martin and I wrote on our own horizontal mentoring relationship as we propose a more systematic, structured approach to grad mentoring. It's also informed by all my work on grad education, which I'm excited to return to!

please, her energy is everything 😅✨

@TimothyOleksiak Solidarity—I too am feeling much anxiety, and will for a while!

One of the fun things I've learned in my couple years post-PhD is that you still get those nervous jitters waiting to hear back about an article submission, and also the same joy when you hear some good news. I think it's sweet, this sort of timeliness experience!

I feel like with AI webinars, it's either going to be really good or really bad. There's seldom anything in-between.

I give a lot of presentations about writing, both at conferences and on my campus, but there's clearly something special about presenting about fanfiction writing that really makes me feel alive 🥰 it was so great to present at qt con about fandom culture as queer resistance!

I just want to say that Miami students are so dang smart. I'm attending the QT (Queer-Trans) Con and have heard such polished, riveting presentations from students, from topics like HIV stigma to the future of lesbianism to queer music icons. I love learning from them!

@svroundtree This is behind frustrating and so messed up. I'm sorry this happened, and that it likely happened to others as well 😞

4Cs was fantastic! Great colleagues, thoughtful discussions, and so many ideas forming. And now I am back in Oxford, Ohio, preparing for around 70,000 people to arrive since we are on the path of totality for the eclipse 🌕

Finally back at #4C24 after a long absence due to covid times (and being at WRAB last year!), and one of the pure joys thus far has been reuniting with my former graduate colleagues and seeing us all out there doing the work ✨👊

No more detectors. Stop using them and stop making the snap decision to report a student for “violating” academic integrity.

Good morning; I am currently experiencing the kind of writing inspiration I haven't felt since my grad school days and it's: amazing! ✨ 📝 Gotta keep it up while I've got it. Happy writing and researching to all!

#CFP for *Bad Ideas about AI and Writing,* coedited by @ChrisBasgier, @MandyRhae, PhD, @MirandaRodak, @sharmashyam, and me. Read the entire call at tinyurl.com/badideasbook. I hope you'll consider contributing! 🚫💡🤖✍

Grieving the loss of my grandmother, my "Babci," my best friend. Warrior of prayers, good luck notes, pierogi, and special prayers to find your keys or fix your phone. A true icon. The weather was grim as I drove back to Michigan, because the world is now a little less bright.

It's really disheartening to be at a conference and hear a presentation where the speakers are saying that the best AI programs can be "better" than faculty. No. We need real people to work with real students on real skills, because the focus is the process, not only the product

Missing Angela Glotfelter, who unfortunately was snowed & iced in!

The longer I'm in academia, the more I realize one of the best parts of conferences truly is presenting & reuniting with colleagues! Had a great time presenting with @ElizabethWardle & @cookingandcomp about heuristics for making meaningful, systemic change in higher ed at @aacu
