They voted to keep the files sealed and millions still cheered. You ask why I speak out? Because mass delusion this deep doesn’t fix itself. #psychology #sociology #gradstudent #unanimous

Scholarship app for my master's funding asked about future doctoral research. My (sleep-deprived, partially BS) answer? "Focused on the impact of geopolitical uncertainty on organizational and diversity management within multinational corporations."

Lunch at the Carolina Coffee Shop is the best way to celebrate a paper submission!  Congratulations to Garrett Sessions, whose research sheds light on how healthy cells become senescent under common stresses such as DNA damage, and the role timing plays in driving distinct phenotypes and inflammatory subpopulations. Check out Garrett’s preprint using the following link: https://lnkd.in/eRzzb5FQ

Wondering how often peer review in academia involves people who know nothing about your topic? My instructor is insisting that this peer review will help us if we go into academia, but it seems to be unhelpful to have people not familiar with my area of work reading my article.

How does queer theory impact liberation theology? Really? You have to ask that question? *eyeroll*

Just met with graduate advisor to talk about comp exams, which I will probably take early to mid next semester. I can do this. Seems very doable for my department and how they handle it and I am feeling much better now given how badly my anxiety, cPTSD, AuDHD is being at the moment due to the job situation....

Bottom line, I really need to be able to walk way from this job by the end of the year. Check out my profile for my self-employment endeavors. Please.

Amazon: we're sorry your book is running late.

Me: That's okay. I haven't started my paper yet.

(It's the seminar research paper that's due in December, though this teacher is making us present on it next month and nickel and diming us on it's progress.... )

The biggest difference in the undergrad and grad school experience in the first six weeks is that I don’t have time to check or even think about grades on assignments. Just keep working. Right now, I am handling four live projects other than my classes. So, where is the time to check grades?

Grad student at CU Boulder looking to interview a data scientist on ethics in the field for a project. Would love to hear from you! Not sure if it’s a wild crew over here, but I thought I’d pitch this anyways!
I’ve already tried on Bluesky!

As body theologians, we seek to affirm bodily experience as inherent to our existence in the world, and theologize to overcome hierarchies and taxonomies that emerge out of body/mind dualisms. (pg 88 Meaning in Our Bodies by Peckruhn)

Holy shit! This book is life changing to my understanding of where I am in relation to disability liberation (incl mad & ND liberation) and theology from a pan/polytheist standpoint. I now have a word for my studies. Body Theology.

WOO WEDNESDAY! I graduated my first Master's Program - Marketing & Communications! My next Master's (yes, I'm a glutton for punishment) will be in Artificial Intelligence.

Work: We really value grad student opinions in our new director search. Would you like to serve on the director search committee? It'll be about 60 hours of work during the fall semester.
Me: Cool. Is there funding to cover the students' time?
Work: ....
Work: This is a service position

I’m seeking recommendations for PhD programs. My masters level graduate work is focused on #posthumanism, and I have extensive experience in #CommunityDevelopment. For my doctoral research I’d like to merge the two fields to re-imagine how we do and be #community in the #Anthropocene. I’m looking for a program that is pretty self-directed and ideally offers opportunities for independent studies. I’m just starting this search process from scratch.

All suggestions welcome!

Grad students: check out this awesome list of thesis and dissertation templates made for @quarto_pub. There's one for #ASU, but no #UniversityOfArizona one yet! I'm sure they'd love contributions

People keep asking me what Posthumanism is… in a few simple words (from my perspective as a #gradstudent , not an expert)… it is a decentering of the “human” in our thoughts and actions. (When I refer to “human,” I mean it in ALL senses that the “human” represents.) Another way of putting it might be: #DEI for all beings on a universal scale.

Again, not an expert… just sharing my take.

If you want to hear it from the experts, check out this talk on a new book by #francescaferrando that I’m SUPER excited about! (See link below) Titled: The Art of Being Posthuman.

Hi all, I just joined Mastodon and wanted to share an #introduction. I’m Catie, a #gradstudent studying the #posthumanities in the US. I joined Mastodon bc a friend shared that I’d likely find some like-minded folx here online, since my small suburban town is pretty limited when it comes to anything “post.” Looking for fun or intriguing conversations and connects! I somewhat recently moved off the #permaculture homestead I was developing, so I’ve got that background too. I’ve been examining intersections of #posthumanism and permaculture related to patterning… lots there! Reach out if you’re looking to connect!

Discussion sections are an important opportunity for students to build on their understanding of course lecture content, ask questions, and make connections that there might not be time to address directly in class.⁠
⁠
They're also an opportunity for students to connect with one another that can be difficult to accomplish in a large lecture.⁠

Check out our tips on leading a great discussion section.⁠ https://ideasonfire.net/teaching-assistant-discussion-section/ #GradStudent #PhDLife
