12th Man! 💙💚 Unfinished business! Benito Bowl 💃🏽

Please see a manuscript through peer review if you can! Adding new reviewers after R&R can be hell for authors. *I am not the author in this situation.

Recently wrote from Old City Kava! Love the vibe! Early hours, late closing. The city needs more of this. #coffeeshopchronicles

Worked from a new coffee shop in Ardmore today. Nice vibes for morning meetings and afternoon data cleaning. It was a little on the colder side so I’ll be sure to bring a shawl next time. #CoffeeShopChronicles

Does any Mac user (that has Excel) ever want to open their csv file with Numbers?! No matter how many times I set the default to Excel, the file still opens in Numbers 🤷🏽‍♀️

6 am school wake up and the first thing my 8 year old son said was, “did the justices win the election? did they keep their seats?” referring to Donohue, Dougherty, and Wecht in PA. He was over the moon about it. “Yay we won!”. Then we had a mini lesson on federal, state, and local government.

Really excited about how my research agenda on truancy has taken off. I'm this year's keynote speaker for the Becca Conference which brings together education, justice, and community experts to expand best practices on engaging and supporting youth and families in crises (including truancy).

Know any undergrads interested in research in the social sciences, humanities, or fine arts? If so, tell them about MURAP! Applications close on 1/30. Fun fact? I did MURAP as an undergraduate. It was a game changer for my career. stonecenter.unc.edu/moore-underg...

Obligatory photo!

Let’s go, Celtics! 💚 The NBA is back!

Today’s the last day!

Minnie Riperton was such a lover girl to have been so young. She’s the background to today’s writing session 💕✍🏽

Go Birds! 💚🦅 If you knew me from Twitter then you know I wasn’t always #birdgang but just mind your business, I live here lol.

Manuscript and grant proposal deadline this week….

I need one more volunteer. Any takers? Thank you!

Hi AEFPers! I am looking for 1-2 more reviewers to review proposals for the K-12 (academic and non-academic) interventions section. The time commitment is late September through early November. Please message me if you're interested and I can email you additional details. Thanks for considering!

Recently worked from Soyu, a new coffee shop on Chestnut. Nice space, refreshing tea, and not too far from campus. I’ll be back for more writing and matcha. #coffeeshopchronicles

Worked on a R&R and mapped out the shell of a fall keynote (I had to submit a description so I was forced to start early) from Vault + Vine in East Falls. Soaked up sun, enjoyed the company of a good friend, and picked up some trinkets. I did not buy plants! #coffeeshopchronicles

Interested applicants for the EFP Editorial team are encouraged to register for a Q&A session tomorrow at 1 PM, hosted by current editors Dr. Li Feng and Dr. Cassandra Hart 📚 aefp.zoom.us/meeting...

I don’t cycle but was walking by when a cyclist pleasantly yelled “Hey Pepsi driver, thanks for leaving the bike lane open!” More of this 😀 #ShareTheRoad

Every summer since being at Penn GSE, I get to teach midcareer students in our EdD program. It’s a very intensive two day format (14 hours), and while I’m always exhausted at the end of it, it’s one of my favorite group of students. Such rich dialogue! And now I will hide for 2 whole days lol.

AEFP invites applications for the editorship of EFP, the association’s flagship journal. Applications are due Nov 1. Read more about it here: aefpweb.org/callfore...

As a parent of Black children, I really hate that common descriptions of childhood ailments are centered on white or fair skin and include characterizations like “redness”, “pinkness”, “flushing” by default. My darker brown skin daughter doesn’t get red, pink, or flush.

Reflecting on my recent experience at the WTG Scholars’ Retreat last week. So much gratitude for such an affirming and supportive space and community. Looking forward to the work and development that will come out of this! Also, Park City is beautiful ♥️

Here's the recording of the event I organized focused on how to become an ed consultant. There's lots of really useful, practical information regardless of your subject area, but I obviously had my colleagues who've recently lost their jobs in mind. youtu.be/50hWMIyR6bw?...

‘Twas the last day before the start of summer camp & mama has deadlines so we went to a local fav to work. I got in a few hours of writing while they read, chatted, & played quietly. My 10 year old softly sang along to nearly every 80s song in the shop’s rotation. So proud lol #coffeeshopchronicles

Summer camp starts on Monday!

As seen at Barnes & Noble…

Thanks to those of you who volunteered! Still in need of a few more reviewers (see original) skeet. The section now includes legal issues so we are anticipating more submissions thus the need for more reviewers.

Booker: He was made to kneel before the authority of the executive… They treated a member of the United States senate violently after he identified himself, dragged him out of a room, threw him upon the ground, and put him in handcuffs

Got my steps in this morning before the weather heated up, my meetings are finally finished, and now I’m determined to work through a R&R for the rest of the day/evening.

Hi! I’m looking for a few more doctorate holding reviewers for AERA Division L - Section 1 (governance and politics). Reviewing will take place later this summer. If you’re interested, drop a comment here or message me. Thanks for considering.

Tuesdays are for discounted movie tickets. Took the kids to see Lilo & Stitch! Such a good movie! Ohana 💙🥹

We are dog sitting for a friend for a couple of days and my children are in heaven! My son told me, “you’re really good at being a dog parent”. My daughter, “👀 you sure about that?” 🤣

Learning Boots on the Ground with my 10 year old 🤣♥️

It’s the last day of school for my kiddos! We made it through another school 👏🏽🎉

Someone asked me if I plan to continue my #coffeeshopchronicles this summer and the answer is absolutely! I have several big writing goals and I want to continue exploring the Philly metro area or anywhere I visit really.

Spent a couple of days in Davis with one of my favorite professional associations. I worked, I soaked up the sun, and wrote from a local coffee shop of course (Pachamama). Reminded me of my time at Stanford in some ways. #coffeeshopchronicles

Congratulations to Penn GSE’s class of 2025! It was an honor to celebrate you today!

My heart and this game 😫💚 Somewhere between committed to seeing it through and needing to go to bed because commencement is first thing tomorrow morning.

"The honor, I assure you, was Harvard's." - W.E.B. Du Bois Ending the week with some Black joy. ❤️ #blacksky #edusky

Writing on this dreary Thursday! I love that I randomly have unknown coffee shop rewards to redeem for free drinks. Going through reviewer comments on an R&R and hoping to finish the analysis for another project today. #coffeeshopchronicles

The state of Georgia is keeping a deceased Black woman’s corpse hooked up to machines against her family’s wishes because she was 9 weeks pregnant and they cannot let them shut off the machines b/c it violates their anti-abortion laws “ITS TORTURE,” says her family www.11alive.com/article/news...

Boston got it done tonight! 💚

Finished up what I think is a very solid proposal just in time to disconnect from work to watch the game for a bit. Let’s go Boston! 💚

Game 5 is going to be a tough one! 💚 #TeamJaysonTatum #TeamCeltics

Watching live stream of Genevieve Siegel-Hawley doing her public service today testifying abt charter schls & educ equity before House Committee on Education & Workforce's Subcommittee on Early Childhood, Elementary, & Secondary (w/ former student Jenna Roberson in audience) 👏 #edresearch #edpolicy

At multiple points throughout the school year, I have had issues with internal and external (to my org) recipients not receiving my emails or receiving them after a significant delay. I thought the problem was resolved and now its happening again! As if email doesn't already give me enough anxiety 😫
