Returning today to data and unpublished writing that are more than 10 years old, but speak to a phenomenon of ongoing interest. 🥲😶 I am filled with compassion towards my younger self, even while amused at her evident immaturity in the academic profession:🧵 #AcademicSky #STS #Anthropology

The unfortunate MA student, whom I used to be, had no idea how to correctly input government and corporate reports into the bibliography and integrate their ideas into the flow of a disciplinary argument. Poor lady 🧵

At the time, I did not have funding, courage, or advice to help me do better with these micro-details I should have known about before attempting an empirical MA in a humanistic R1 department, after coming straight out of a tech writer role that mainly positioned me as a scribe for men's ideas. 🧵
