Julia Lee

This is why even when I teach literature courses, I don’t assign papers. I assign creative projects. The academic paper is dying as a pedagogical tool, especially in introductory courses and I think that’s fine!

I just finished directing @profjulialee , who narrated her memoir for @macmillanaudio & @elishia_e People, THIS BOOK. It's complicated, raw, tender, hilarious, and so important in this country's conversation about race. Out in April. I'll be squealing about it then.

Being on search committees has confirmed for me how arbitrary success in academia is. Yes, you have to be smart and capable to make it. But you could have been just as smart and just as capable and not made it. Basically, we work our asses off to buy a lottery ticket.

@vanessajdiaz @DrJonathanRosa @DukePress CONGRATULATIONS!!!!

Thrilled to receive the Assoc. For Latina/o & Latinx Anthro (ALLA) Book Award for Manufacturing Celebrity: Latino Paparazzi and Women Reporters in Hollywood. To have it presented to me by the incomparable @DrJonathanRosa made it even more special ✊🏽🇵🇷 #AAA2022Seattle @DukePress

FUCK YEAH, GO SENATOR CATHERINE CORTEZ MASTO!!!!! Sorry about the crappy photo, but this is from 6 years ago when CCM was first running for Senate to succeed Harry Reid (RIP) and made a pit stop at the Container Park in Vegas with then VP Biden. 🔥💥

@likaluca I love it because I couldn't afford the clothes/shoes the first time around. Now that I'm 45, I can finally afford Docs 🤣

A day after my @latimes piece on Danny Park and the skid row peoples market, he made the front page of the Korea Daily. Photo via @ssoyunum @LiquorDreamsMov
