Very happy to share the cover of our next book--Hungry Roots: How Food Communicates Appalachia's Search for Resilience! This comes out April 2024 with @USCPress and @auroraxbell has been a wonderful partner on this. @aqstokes is a rockstar co-author, to boot.

[READING] "In late July, a food truck was offering summer meals to students who might not otherwise have enough to eat. The truck, emblazoned with photos of fresh fruits and vegetables, is a project of DC Central Kitchen (DCCK)." civileats.com/2023/08/30/pho…

Photo Essay: How DC Central Kitchen Tackles Hunger, From Food Trucks to Training Programs

The nonprofit is the primary school food provider to 19 Washington, D.C., schools. But kids need meals even when schools close for the summer. Here’s how it feeds kids—and families—where they are.

Recently, I wrote a bunch of Zotero tutorials that went (mildly) viral on #AcademicTwitter. Thought I'd put them all together so folks can find them easily. So, here goes 👇 Zotero 101: A meta-thread 🧵 Retweet to share it with your friends/colleagues.

The provost sends an email to everyone in the university, his staff forwards it to everyone in the university, the dean forwards it everyone in the college, the associate deans forward it to everyone in the college, the chairs forward it to everyone in the department.

1/ Peer review is in trouble! So much of the knowledge we produce & share rests on the idea that our work goes through a rigorous review by experts. After serving as an editor-in-chief for 5 yrs. & an associate editor for 3 yrs., I'm worried that our system is in trouble:
