It's been a minute since I've been here, but I'll be at 4C's this week presenting on content moderation and queer flourishing. So excited to catch up with everyone and most excited for the @ccccqueercaucus.bsky.social meeting <3
Morgan and Gavin just won a Lavender Rhetorics award for this Cluster Conversation and I'm still so proud to have been a part of it!!
Super excited to share my latest article with the wonderful Avery Edenfield: Queer Potential in Professional Communication: “Queer Use” & Terms of Service (the "Online First" version through TCQ). I have 50 free e-links so let me know if you want one!
Now why on earth did I schedule my sabbatical presentation for the Monday we get back from Spring Break?!
Unity Conejo's first fundraiser of the year is here! Come play trivia with us!
Thank you!
Thank you so much!!! <3
I'm at CI & everyone is terrified about what cuts will mean for us as the smallest campus. I'm a CSU alumn & it was the only way I was able to access a college education (B.A. @ CI & M.A. @ Northridge). It's hearbreaking that I'm hoping me leaving for a TT position elsewhere will save someone's job.
Thank you!
I need to post more often here, but big life update (yes, amidst the dumpster fire of everything else): I'll be starting as an assistant professor at University of South Carolina in August 2025. I love CI and will miss it dearly, but am so excited for this next chapter of my life.
Thank you so much!
It's been a minute since I've been here, so updates: I successfully defended my dissertation on September 19th and am now on the job market! It's been a rollercoaster navigating the job market while still having my regular full-time teaching job, but here we go!!!
Officially finished conducting interviews for my dissertation (thank you to all my incredible participants), just ran my corpus through AntConc, and am drafting Chapter 3... it's getting real!
TY for the amazing response to my call! I only need a few more study participants to reach my goal sample size. In particular, anyone who works in sexual health/education spaces on social media and does some content moderation I would love to chat! A needed area in my current participant pool.
I have a full study participant sheet I'd be happy to pass along that explains all of this in detail if you'd like to have it! But I totally understand and have gotten many Nos for exactly these reasons. I want to keep everyone safe and comfortable.
Yes, I totally understand! I've talked to a few people who have NDA's etc. Everything is de-identified (so I don't use names of people, platforms, companies, or anything like that). I record the audio to get a transcript, but then delete everything (which is all on a password protected computer)...
Thank you so much for this and for the wonderful conversation today!
Thank you all!!
Thank you so much! This is wonderful. I'll email you now!
Hey all! I'm still recruiting for my diss study. If you or anyone you know has experience in content moderation (paid or volunteer) and, particularly, has made decisions about "sexual content" (however defined!), I'd love to chat! Email rachael [dot] jordan [at] ttu [dot] edu for more information.
Officially set my automatic reply for sabbatical on my CSUCI email to start on Monday! WHOA. Also, conducting four interviews this week for my diss and working on two other projects. It's really happening, folks! <3
How about today, instead of finishing up and submitting grades and working on that article that won't write itself, I just rewatch all three Doctor Who 60th anniversary specials? No?
(Hi. Family from PA) :)
I'm starting to recruit for my diss study! If you, or anyone you know, has experience moderating sexual content on social media (broadly defined), please send them my way. Feel free to email me at rachael [dot] jordan [at] ttu [dot] edu and I can send you my Study Information Sheet. :)
Apologies if you saw this on the other site, but I got to write a blog post for Teaching & Learning Innovations at CSUCI about the asynchronous service-learning grant writing course that I teach. Hooray! tlinnovations.cikeys.com/innovation/o...
One of my grant writing students from a few semesters ago secured a 25,000 dollar grant for a local animal shelter. So proud of my students and their work from my class! Service-learning is hard, but so worth it ❤️
It's OFMD Season 2 day (and my long teaching day) so cross your fingers that I can stay awake tonight to watch it! I'M SO READY!!
Thank you! I'm so excited for it. I've wanted to dress up as Misty since I was a kid and just never made it happen. Until now! Just got my red suspenders. :)
I love Halloween and have had a costume for every one of my 37 years on this planet (even when I was 15 and thought I was too cool to get one I threw together a "Malibu Barbie" costume on the fly the day of). Going to be Misty (from Pokemon) this year and my trooper of a spouse will be Psyduck!
Yes!! <3
