extra-curricular activities:
accepted to present a poster at #CTCC26 (is that a real hashtag idk); in the midst of grading student papers on Marx and the cons of capitalism; spending my evenings catching up with my journals; and running out of room for new purchases on my bookshelf

writing the dissertation:
very inspired by the work on crip technoscience and crip digital intimacies I’ve been reading lately; brainstorming ways to integrate it all into my lit review chapter; also finagling with chapter one and how to introduce the project overall

To anyone who was following this saga– I managed to secure a TA position for the 2025/26 school year – phew! Although it's not the role that I was hoping to go back to, you can find me making my return to live (Zoom) tutorials this coming year as a TA for a course on "the future of work"!

well the news was not what I’d hoped, but at least that means I don’t have to fly from California to Manchester in one weekend to make my friend’s wedding 😂

… (2/2) But as a grad student TA, it’s easy (for me at least) to get imposter syndrome and feel overwhelmed with grading. I’ve definitely regraded things before. I’m pleased that I’m starting to feel confident in my grading abilities, especially since I hope to have a professor role one day.
