Getting the whole Ohio State CRP team together for photos is a THING. Getting ready! And then getting it done *sort of*

Boris Iofan called. He'd like to know when he can expect his payment.

I went to a conference to talk to colleagues, mentor early career faculty, present research, and check in with the state of the discipline…and this is the reaction back home.😔

When an academic administrator stands in front of a room full of faculty — faculty who kept the university afloat through the Great Recession, Covid-19, & political upheaval not seen in 75 years…

The McNay Art Museum in San Antonio is where I learned about contemporary art in historical context. I was so lucky to grow up with this special place down the street! I stopped by last week and cannot recommend it more: If you are ever in San Antonio — visit!

When I was untenured female faculty a senior woman in the College (who supervised P&T) advised me to “wear pastels.” She told me to wear pink, baby blue, and aqua and “keep my palms on the table.”
