Manuscript Central can definitely read my mind. Every time I check my to do list to see what peer reviews I have to do and the answer is “none,” I get a review request within the next 24 hours. Every. Time.

Really important advice here. It is so easy to focus on the literature review and learning about what is already known about the topic to the detriment of actually doing your research.
I love literature reviews. However, I need to take caution that I don’t make them too much of the research project! lol 🤪

I like doing the occasional book review because I get to prioritize reading new academic books. What I don't like about the process is the concern the author will read the review and think I totally misunderstood the book. I'm at that latter point right now.

Thank you to @dcmajor.bsky.social for coming to my housing policy class last night and talking about mixed income housing. It's always helpful when students can translate the theory and readings to what is happening in our community.

I'm working on a book chapter for potential doctoral students and could use your help please. If you have a PhD in something public affairs related, or if you are in that type of doctoral program right now, why did you get/are getting a PhD? Does that reasoning still make sense to you now?

In my continuing efforts to carve a small space of refuge from the constant stream of fascist shit, I've decided to post a Minor League Hat Of The Day-I wear ballcaps all the time, and have acquired a ton over years of going to games, so why tf not be a little whimsical? Mute words if you need to 😄

I recommend this book, and even bought copies for family members. I loved reading about the authors who influenced Jane Austen and why they didn’t gain the notoriety she did.
Really looking forward to the conversation next week. Rebecca Romney’s book is a delight. Thur., July 24, 6pm

I've had this happen a few times, enough that it warrants saying it out loud.
If you're reviewing something and you like it/think it has enormous intellectual value, you should explain exactly why. Be verbose. Editors are reading and often take short (though glowing) reviews as not very helpful.
