New, from me: I became a PhD student mostly because one person, Patricia Wallace Ingraham, told me I should do it. She passed away recently, and it made me think about the role of mentorship in our lives. open.substack.com/pub/donmoyni...

It's #ThrowbackThursday and go check out the study on the effects of time on leadership development by our editorial board members Heather Getha-Taylor (The University of Kansas) and Cullen C. Merritt (University of Maryland), along with Jacob Fowles and Chris Silvia (Brigham Young University)‼️

I recently joined @yourwordsunleashed.bsky.social for a conversation about my research. The episode is titled "Service Shaming in Academia & How to Fix It." I hope you'll take a moment to check it out! yourwordsunleashed.com/service-sham...

Thanks to @cullenmerritt.bsky.social for an inspiring and timely talk and discussion yesterday about the future of public administration doctoral education! So glad you could visit @au-spa.bsky.social

I'm excited to give my upcoming talk, “Reinventing Public Administration Doctoral Education,” @au-spa.bsky.social. Many thanks to @dei-au-spa.bsky.social for the invitation.

I'm excited to share that my book, Rebels in the Field, will be coming out with Oxford University Press this summer. The book focuses on the military processes involved in deploying force in substate conflicts.

Fantastic work by @cullenmerritt.bsky.social!

Discouraging and devaluing faculty participation in service undermine the public impact of universities, I argue in my @insidehighered.com article. 🧵(1/5) #HigherEd #AcademicSky www.insidehighered.com/opinion/view...

My favorite flavor of Service Shaming is "You’re doing too much!" …followed a week later by "Can you just take on one more little thing, please?"

"Through being conditioned to avoid service, faculty don’t access the knowledge, skills and confidence they need to lead change at their institutions and in their communities." Please Read This Entire Article..While Keeping In Mind What's Happening Now...And Think About It.. REALLY HARD!

In my generative research phase (fancy way of saying I read lots of stuff that may not seem connected but ultimately pushes me in my understanding of college), I'm thinking on the public good argument frequently being conceptualized as our research not service www.insidehighered.com/opinion/view...

ICYMI: here's a great Friday read on the power of faculty public service. Well done, @cullenmerritt.bsky.social! #AcademicSky @univofmaryland.bsky.social

Reading this article and nodding at every paragraph. I'm so very tired of having our public work cheapened and dismissed. So tired. And often the university even wants to celebrate the impact of the work! But no. No, the work still doesn't "count." Even & especially right now. 🫠

"It’s time to create an academic culture that recognizes service [beyond the institution] & the people who perform it. Without it, #highered risks irrelevance and an even greater disconnect from the public when society needs its contributions the most." www.insidehighered.com/opinion/view...
