Discount code flyer now available for recent edited collection! Check it out and share with your people.

Graduation does not mean you exit the Anarchoic Chamber! Recent Kean alum Nefertiti Nzameyo stopped in recently to say hello and talk about the future of our research and talk life updates!

Major life challenges have made the past couple months painfully difficult. The kindness and grace shown by students and colleagues have been remarkable. In just one of many instances, a student brought me homemade cookies and Lourdes water. Much love!

The NCA 2025 contingent of the Anarchoic Chamber also gifted me this while we were in Denver. Seems they have all endured a few too many awkwardly long pauses during lectures in my classes. I LOVE it!

As always, not enough pictures were taken, but here are some snapshots of some invaluable times with great people at NCA!

The Anarchoic Chamber had a successful NCA 2025! I am proud of everything these scholars are accomplishing. From first NCA presentations to networking for graduate school to asking smart questions in panels, these brilliant minds impressed!

Finished NCA today by presenting with Lennese, Natalia, and Ridimerb!

Fellow NCA folks, I am also on the ballot for our Leadership Development Committee. The great Ben Medeiros is as well! If we were both elected.....

Fellow NCA PAD COMMrades: The Public Address Division election is now live. I am on the ballot for Vice Chair Elect and would love your support. Message me with any questions I can answer as you cast your vote.

The Anarchoic Chamber is slated for a busy NCA conference! Hope to see y'all COMMrades in some of these sessions featuring me and Kean scholar standouts Natalia Szabla, Ridimerb Diaz-Ramirez, Lennese Ramirez, and Holly Van Ness.

With the nudge of Natalia Szabla at our recent EMZ/Anzaldùa conference attendance, I procured a cool new piece of art by Celeste DeLuna

Hey Kean community, I just donated copies of both of my books to our library! You can find them in the Kean faculty spotlight case. Special thanks to Dr. Laura Baecher for the support and the photo! And the mug is a throwback to my favorite Young Harris College students!

COMMrades attending upcoming NCA conference, please consider this Short Course that I'll be delivering alongside esteemed colleagues! I recognize that the cost can be prohibitive but may qualify for professional development funds. We will have discount codes for our book from @sunypress.bsky.social

Anarchoic Chambermates get access to the humble cafe in my office where I've an assortment of mugs and can make espresso and lattes. CJ Petersen, a cafe latte fan, was elated to show off their OWN new mug in the lab! Yes, that is radioactive shrimp! A great research partner & now with a stellar mug!
