On maternity leave and social media hiatus.
I started a Substack to write about some of my research thoughts in a more accessible way. Here's my first post, on the topic of timeliness in critical discourse studies research that addresses ongoing political situations:

I submitted my PhD three years ago this month! I’ve never really shared this but I was diagnosed with severe OCD during my second year, which coincided with COVID. I’m proud that I made it through, and grateful I didn’t quit when I felt like it in 2020.

I haven’t always had the best experiences with the mental health services but credit where credit is due - the perinatal team is really stellar at responding to postnatal depression and OCD.
