So many generative contributions that will carry me through the rest of the fall semester. Thank you to my co-chair Renagh O’Leary and the many scholars, students, and staff who made these events a success!

It was a big weekend for me @law.wisc.edu. I had the great pleasure of being in conversation with Prof. Melissa Murray for both the Wisconsin Law Review Symposium on the Shadow Carceral State and my Care and Carcerality conference the next day.

What a joy to discuss Decarceralizing and Decolonizing Family Law at #lsa2025 with such a phenomenal group! I could have chatted all day with Corey B Best, Tianna Gibbs , Emily Poor, Lisa Washington, and Jessica Dixon Weaver !

Really can't downplay the seriousness of this for all of higher ed. But at the same time you wonder how putting powerful enemies into an unmistakably existential crisis will pay off for a regime still consolidating power

Pretty great to see this in print. It was a joy to work with the editors at the Yale Law Journal. Now what to do with all of these copies?

Grateful to receive the #AALS2025 Section on Family and Juvenile Law Emerging Scholars Award. The picture feels right since I wrote Time and Punishment while pregnant and submitted it during the early postpartum period.

Optimist: the cup is half full

Pessimist: the cup is half empty

Sociologist: how we understand the cup is actually the result of socially constructed interpretations of the world
