terror/excitement
the subject line of the email was "Invitation to Rhodes Interview."
and did you know? apparently (the first) part of the interview process is a pretty-formal cocktail party!!! aaaack! so now in addition to all the worries about *being* smart and competent, i'm now concerned with *looking* smart and confident. like, ohmigaaaad i have to reread all my application materials and make sure i'm up on my research and...go to king of prussia for new clothes. what the fuck?!? and the rhodes committee won't pay for travel. and, and, and---yeah, don't let this confuse you. i'm really excited. really really.

welcome to my blog. i'm a ph.d. candidate in political science at yale, a native midwesterner, and a happy californian. right now my research is about armed organizations and how they organize their violence against noncombatants, or fail to. i'm also interested in intentional community, gender in the academy, grad school pedagogy, fat politics, the religious left, my partner, our local farmers' market and idiosyncratic capitalization practices.
