I've chosen to publish in @jds-disasters.bsky.social because that's where some of the most critical conversations in disaster studies are taking place. What was my first clue? @kschmutina.bsky.social told me so!
So I asked @ajfaas.bsky.social why he decided to write for the @jds-disasters.bsky.social - and apparently it’s all my fault 🤪💙

My comments about Diamond/Hancock also reminded me...Remember, attacks against scholarship are coming!
Step 1: Find some super-niche research.
Step 2: Strip it of all context.
Step 3: Ridicule the scholar. Then, denounce the field.
Step 4: Call for federal funding cuts and bans.

Any reading recommendations for first generation professionals? As a first gen student myself, I've learned to be an effective mentor. But I speak with former students who are now professionals and struggle with socially integrating into those spaces, with cultivating professional habitus
