Returned to my PhD alma mater to speak with alumni, faculty, and current Princeton EAS PhD students about career pathways in academia! And in a full circle moment, I finished the first full draft of my book manuscript (!!) in the same cafe where I wrote my dissertation. 🥳 Excited for next steps!!

Had a full circle moment this month: I delivered my presentation for the 2025 meeting of AJLS in the SAME ROOM as my undergrad senior honors thesis defense in 2016! I was high-key emotional to be back at Dartmouth as a Duke professor. Grateful for those who helped me get here. 🥹

Tomorrow! So excited to be in conversation with everyone. Also realizing that this is coinciding with the release of Assassin’s Creed: Shadows!
