#ViolenceStudies should be an available major in universities. Though, I would find it understandable if it were a graduate school focus.

Perhaps a destination for those with undergraduate degrees in Conflict Resolution, Psychology, Biology, Philosophy, Religious Studies, Gender and Women's Studies.

Once upon a time Judaic Studies was not a thing. Geoffrey Hartman played a role in making that happen.

Dear trainees (dare I say young people) in lab, do not say 'I guess so' if you really mean 'no' or 'probably not'. Your PI likely hears 'Yes'.

Dear PI's if someone in your lab says 'I guess so' they probably do not mean 'Yes'.

A concerned outside observer.

It is with great pleasure that I announce my #thesis is a steaming pile of crap.

But it's almost done! Only some formatting and fixing the introduction and conclusion.

I'm extremely grateful to have so much support from my friends right now.
They check in on me and always offer me an outlet away from my writing if I need it.
I couldn't ask for better friends🥹

I've officially submitted my Request for Defense paperwork!
Now, all I need to do is finish up the manuscript. No pressure😅

I'm proud of myself for the progress I've made in this chapter.
It's a good feeling😊

"The [British East India] Company have long granted Mr. [Robert] Orme an annuity, due to his merits as a historian." (1792)

Cheers to all historians!

My writing is going so well today!
I wish every day was like this x100!

I don't like that my most productive hours are at night.
Curse my undergrad study habits.

Minor annoyance: find a cool historical factoid yet can't find any credible sources to cross-check it with or verify the information.

Sigh.

Slowly creating new connections here on Mastadon.

It's great to see so many historians here!

You know you're a graduate student when you hide at the cafe to get writing done over the holidays.

My dissertation proposal was approved! My haunted collection of stories, ghost interviews & confessions is officially going to be the thing I do to earn my PhD!

The short title is "Texan Gothic" and I can't wait to showcase a sample as the chapbook, *Santa Muerte Santa Muerte: I Was Here Release Me releasing in from Tram Editions February 2023!!

Rereading #science papers for new projects and looking through cited sources, I keep seeing the same names. All I can think is yes my old friends, here they are again as I see papers I know well cited. Cahill, Bennett, Barber, Wilson, Van Der Heijen, Koide, Read, Wolfe, Smith I'm talking about you. No I have never met or talked to any of them... #GradLife #academia #fungi
