Need an antidote to the hopelessness of American political life? Listen to an episode of In Solidarity. In the episode where I’m featured, we talk tenant organizing, health, & what it looks like to catalyze change by building power from the ground up. It’s worth a listen💯

Excited to be included in this special issue! My is a reflection on "Ethical and Transformative Scholarly Public Engagement." Researchers seeking to engage communities and change processes--take a look!

Excited this is out! My piece is about grassroots power, a critical but understudied facet of the Medicaid policy landscape. I explore the role of grassroots actors in the health policy ecosystem, drawing our attention to the promise & pathways for building power for health.

Receiving an award is lovely, but awkward. Having someone talk about you in front of a room full of colleagues will never not be weird to me. Nevertheless, I am grateful that @CharleyWillison was the one to do it. I was honored by the genuinely kind words she shared tonight.

So honored to share this public engagement award with @povertyscholar. Even nicer to receive this award from my friend @sarahgollust, who held back on the zingers suggested by @EGolberstein

Great @APSAtweets panel on @DomingoMorel’s new book, Developing Scholars. Insightful conversation on the importance of political organizing in advancing educational equity & the disproportionate labor that marginalized communities expend struggling for racial & economic justice.

Many thanks to @KimberleyNYC @povertyscholar @sally_nuamah and @DeondraRose for their wonderful comments and thoughtful conversation about my book Developing Scholars @APSAtweets
