Danielle Koepke, PhD

This stuff is showing up all over the place - where you automatically opt in and sometimes have trouble finding a way to opt out 😑

I don’t post often but felt the need to say that I have not stopped thinking about The Last of Us S2E2 since it aired on Sunday. 😢

But after giving them an extra week to work on a paper, a fair amount of them are taking me up on my offers to meet with them, give them extra feedback, and review things before the [extended] deadline. Which is how it should be with writing projects.

Now, back to it... 🤓 2/2

After a long day (that isn't over yet) of reading students' writing, giving them feedback, and chatting with them in meetings, I have to say: The kids are alright. Post-pandemic and mid-rise-of-AI, current undergrads honestly get a ton of flack. 1/2

Loved working on this article about data privacy in online/ social media spaces with @banvillemorgan.bsky.social. So glad it’s out in the world today!

Working my way into course prep by baking. Today is d2l scaffolding, post everything bagels.

I have a PhD in English but I still question why it’s “poring” over sources and not “pouring,” even though logically I know I’m not pouring anything over my sources 😅

The emotional labor it takes to pull together job app materials these days is wild. Sent off a job app and am celebrating with a little splash of Bailey’s in my Friday work-from-home coffee.

On Tuesday, it was almost 60 degrees. On Thursday, it is snowing.

Today I shared about my research at MMLA and maybe a few ppl might be interested. Still figuring out who I’m even connected to here honestly 🤗. Here’s a link to my slides (and from there, a transcript). The screenshot below shows my title slide w/QR code and has a light yellow/pink background.

Excited to have this chapter in ACLS’s new collection out in the world!

In “Caring for Stories in Community-Engaged Research and Coalitional Work for Justice,” Rachel Bloom-Pojar and I reflect on our work on the Cuentos project as faculty member and dissertater (me lol).

I needed something to watch in the background while grading so I started This is Us. Never seen an episode before but just realized Jess from Gilmore Girls is in it so maybe it’s worth a shot 🤗

I’m behind on reading after completing the PhD and then teaching and creating all new lessons/materials for more students than I’ve ever had. 😴

Any great readings on data or personal privacy when sharing stories on IG or other social media platforms? 😬

I keep being like, “I should post something on here so my account doesn’t get perceived as a bot.”

So, here it is. This is the post. 😅
