Seeing students name the values behind their decisions was honestly the highlight of my day.

Really grateful for the folks who made the event run so smoothly, and for the chance to meet some truly wonderful people along the way. (3/3)

3/3 Quiet highlight: a commissioning editor invited me to develop a book proposal based on the dissertation. With my defence on Dec 17, it feels like this very long project is finally starting to turn a corner into whatever comes next. #skystorians #phdlife #conference #digitalhumanities
