Grateful to @cornellilr, @gracabi, @Yiran_Zhang_ for organizing and hosting the first annual Worklaw Junior Scholars Workshop. I can't imagine a better way to move through this hard moment than to gather with thoughtful and dedicated scholars in a beautiful place. Thank you!

I'm grateful to my workplace, @SetonHallLaw, for having COVID+flu vaccination stations at the law school campus on multiple dates over the coming two weeks. I already booked my session and encouraged my students to do. You should too! Be well. 💉💪✌️

A gigantic loss and such a gift to have her in the world as long as she was.
Extremely sad news: Jane McAlevey <@rsgexp>, the organizer, writer, and human dynamo, died this morning. I knew her for over 20 years and loved and admired her.

@MrSethHarris @emilymspatz @PowerAtWorkBlog This is great.
