My second book is out for final review. I’ve figured out what my next project is. Now I need to do IRB again. I can’t tell yall how grateful I am to be trained as an interdisciplinary scholar & to be in an interdisciplinary department where I can do the work I want to do.
Grad school Sami, only interested in literary & textual analysis, rolled her eyes in required methods class while learning about the IRB process but now as I start to do more interview-based work, I’m grateful I learned what I did when I did.
I don’t identify strongly w/ being an academic, but I do enjoy research & I value knowledge creation/sharing for social justice purposes. My projects are always based on what feels important to me in a given moment. I’m so glad I have this kind of intellectual & labor freedom.
And I’ll be sharing more about the next project as soon as I get IRB approval & start seeking out interview participants and research sites to visit. I’ll crowdsource a lot of my early leads so yall will be able to help me kickstart the new work.
And send good vibes that my book manuscript goes through final review smoothly. If all goes well, it will be out late next year which means a new book tour in 2023!
