This semester has been especially challenging (politics, final semester of courses, etc.), but I recently started reading, writing, and planning for my dissertation. My passion-my "why"-has been reinvigorated by the wonderful scholarship in our field!

This is, so far, my most difficult semester...

After being in the cold for several days, it was very jarring to walk out of the airport to warm-ish weather this afternoon!

We saw Wicked last night at the cutest mid-century style theater here in Minneapolis, The Riverview Theater!

For this presentation, I analyzed governing documents using critical discourse analysis to learn more about students’ participation in academic governance. Findings highlight the outcomes of dynamic, latent structures of power inherent in institutional discourses related to governance.
