Guy at the gym: "Are you a first year PhD student?"

Guy: "I hope I can look as fresh as you when I'm in my fourth year"
Woah, this guy made my day! Lol. Also, moisturize.

I was working on an interview guide, and I told myself, "Wouldn't it be great to have a regular group of folks I can reach out to for quick feedback?"
So, some colleagues and I are coming together. The idea: no prior reading, no papers, just quick feedback 30-60 min every 2 wks

Every now and then a previous student would email me out of the blue, and such moments make all the work of teaching worth it.

[27] In studying policies, we often ask "Did it work, for whom, and under what conditions?"
In this paper, I show how sociological and organizational lenses can further these by asking for meaning, resistance, and larger context.

Lesson 1: I used to wonder how people can remember papers, but I realized that they focus on scholars and their work.

Lesson 6: During COVID, I emailed profs in diff universities, asking if they were willing to talk to me over Zoom.

Lesson 5: Teaching undergrads is great (I taught during/after COVID), but it can take a lot of time.
Try to put boundaries for how much time is used to prep and grade papers. More hours don’t necessarily equate to more effective teaching.

Lesson 2: A prof once said, “If you haven’t seen bad theater, you haven’t seen enough.”
