Putting the finishing touches on a 20+ page paper about the #YA Information Community. I’ve learned so much that will help me pursue the youth services pathway, but I’m so ready to be done with this class and get in the #holiday spirit. #MLIS #librarystudies

#introduction
Hello, from the innerwest suburbs of #Melbourne #Naarm #WurundjeriLand. I love #sewing (mostly clothes from indie pattern design companies) and currently studying #InformationManagement and #librarystudies. I've had a long career teaching #literature in international and higher education, but burnout finally got me after teaching remotely over the pandemic lockdowns for almost two years. I am making the move into another career, employed in a part-time job that offers much better work-life balance and opportunities to develop new skills.
Hoping to connect with fellow #sewists #booknerds #librarians

@sonyaknits Hi! I'm really glad to meet people with a similar background to me over here. I'm an avid sewist and student of info & library mgt :) I'm quite new to Mastodon, so please bear with me. I'm currently in the middle of a metadata subject and just about to embark on a sewing project that involves some hacking (i.e., making a wrap dress out of the peppermint wrap top & peppermint wrap skirt). Should be fun!

Since I (also) switched to hcommons.social a few days ago, here is my third #introduction!

I am a PhD student in Islamic and Arabic Studies in Münster, Germany, working on practices of evidence and strategies of verification of prophetic descent in seventeenth- and eighteenth-century North Africa. In particular, I am examining texts on a particular descent community claiming prophetic descent: the descendants of ʿAbd al-Qādir al-Jilānī, from a translocal perspective.

Also: I am excited to see something growing here that I didn't think was possible a few months ago. Glad to be here with you all!

fyi: I have enabled automatic deletion of posts after one month.
