My book Diffusing Human Trafficking Policy in Eurasia @policypress @BrisUniPress is officially released today! Here is a blog post based on the book discussing the effectiveness #HumanTrafficking policy & the limits of policy solutions for wicked problems. transformingsociety.co.uk/2020/05/13/how…

#AcWriMo update. I received my book proofs back 10 days earlier than expected so I am shifting gears to concentrate on those edits due December 1 while attending two academic conferences. Academia is definitely a juggling act!

#AcWriMo goals update. I have checked off a few of my writing goals. Sadly I already received a rejection on the adjudication article after 3 rounds of revisions over a year & 3 positive reviews that said it was ready to publish. At least I have some 🇱🇻&🇺🇦 chocolate as a reward!

It's #AcWriMo and I have once again planned out my writing goals for the month. I have two conferences this month and book copy edits coming before Thanksgiving so it's going to be a busy month inside and outside of the classroom. Happy AcWriMo to all who celebrate!

Visited the newly renovated Latvijas Nacionālais vēstures muzejs. I was in 🇱🇻 for my dissertation research when the fire destroyed some of the pils so it was amazing to see the renovation. The new exhibit Straumējot laiku/Streaming Time was great & discussed the women's movement!
