It was a big weekend for me @law.wisc.edu. I had the great pleasure of being in conversation with Prof. Melissa Murray for both the Wisconsin Law Review Symposium on the Shadow Carceral State and my Care and Carcerality conference the next day.

📣 ICYMI! LPE Conference FEBRUARY 5-7, 2026 @ Richmond Law! CFP by August! Follow @a-lpe.bsky.social right now!! ✊

What a joy to discuss Decarceralizing and Decolonizing Family Law at #lsa2025 with such a phenomenal group! I could have chatted all day with Corey B Best, Tianna Gibbs , Emily Poor, Lisa Washington, and Jessica Dixon Weaver !

Really can't downplay the seriousness of this for all of higher ed. But at the same time you wonder how putting powerful enemies into an unmistakably existential crisis will pay off for a regime still consolidating power

So happy that I was voted classroom teacher of the year. Thank you!

Forthcoming piece from Britney Wilson looks terrific. Predisposed: Race, Disability, and Death Investigations 72 UCLA L. Rev. _ (2025) (forthcoming) papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....

Pretty great to see this in print. It was a joy to work with the editors at the Yale Law Journal. Now what to do with all of these copies?

Grateful to receive the #AALS2025 Section on Family and Juvenile Law Emerging Scholars Award. The picture feels right since I wrote Time and Punishment while pregnant and submitted it during the early postpartum period.

Such good news!
