Our amazing colleague Danny Moraguez died last month: lnkd.in/eYag-N6q
Danny was a brilliant scholar who was committed to social justice and educational equity. @anniewoff.bsky.social, @waltecton.bsky.social, and I couldn't have been luckier to have Danny in our hiring cohort. 1/3
A white woman with medium length brown hair and brown eyes standing in front of a bookcase and a poster that says, “Joy is a form of resistance.” She has a big smile that emulates this phrase.
The semester started yesterday, and my first day of teaching is today! Here’s to Year 4 on the tenure track at the FSU Anne Spencer Daves College of Education, Health, and Human Sciences and to creating more joy every day.

How have you been impacted by the changes we've seen under the current administration? What would you want to say to those in charge?
I'm launching a new research initiative to collect and share anonymous stories of the human toll. And I'd be very grateful for your help.

We demonstrate how participants recognize and build hard and soft skills; clarify career interests; receive managerial and organizational support; navigate gender, age, and racial dynamics; and access future professional opportunities.

We used multiple sources of longitudinal qualitative data (i.e., timelines, interviews, reflective journaling) to understand how undergraduate students with minoritized gender identities experience internships in engineering.
Our article, "'Do I Even Belong?': Internships as Gendered Career Socialization Experiences in Engineering," was just assigned a volume/issue with the Journal of Diversity in Higher Education! It's always exciting to see "Online First" work move to a permanent home.

New publication out today! @dffeldon.bsky.social, @anniewoff.bsky.social, Kaylee Litson, and I developed and tested a brief intervention to transfer orientation/advising that significantly increases transfer students' beliefs about the value of earning PhDs in CS doi.org/10.1007/s111...
It's not lost on me that the quote we used for this title might resonate with many working in education at this moment. I firmly believe we can continue to change cultures through individual engagements. Demonstrating this in research and practice is one of the biggest honors of being faculty.
Findings discuss how attributes of equity-minded mentoring shaped participants’ mentoring motivations, benefits, and costs. Participants illustrated how qualities of social exchange (e.g., reciprocity) were often shaped by identity-based experiences and unclear boundaries in doctoral education.
The EM3 supports the goal of viewing mentors’ relational engagement through a lens that attends to identity/ies, power dynamics, and organizational structures.
SET helps one understand reciprocal processes – like mentorship – and we apply its tenets to examine doctoral students’ motivations, benefits, and challenges as they engage in mentorship.
In this study, we examine how US doctoral students in computing-related fields understand their roles as mentors by using a conceptual framework that merges social exchange theory (SET) and the equity-minded mentoring model (EM3).
New pub!

Just Education Policy is coming back! We’re excited to announce that we are planning for an *in-person* Just Education Policy Institute this Fall 2025. Applications & more details will be released in early May. For more info. about the Just Education Policy Institute, visit justeducationpolicy.org.
What an incredible honor to hood Dr. Denise Gonzalez McHale yesterday! Thank you for trusting me from the beginning—a then brand-new faculty member—and allowing me to be part of your journey. You’ll always be part of mine and will forever be the first person I hooded! #graduation #facultylife
Stay safe, FSU community. Active shooter report near the Student Union.
This is the literal destruction of knowledge.

Title: Both Liberal and Conservative Judges Rule Against Trump Description: A scatter plot showing the rulings of judges against or in favor of Trump, categorized by ideology using the DIME score. The x-axis represents Judge Ideology (DIME Score), ranging from liberal (-1) to conservative (1), and the y-axis represents the case outcome (against or for Trump). • Blue dots represent liberal judges, purple dots represent moderate judges, and red dots represent conservative judges. • Some judges are labeled, including Rudolph Contreras, Lauren King, John Coughenour, and James Emanuel Boasberg on the liberal to moderate side, and Carl Nichols, Richard J. Leon, and Joseph N. Laplante on the conservative side. • A note mentions that Boasberg, though slightly right-leaning, was initially appointed by George W. Bush. • The visualization suggests that judges from both ideological backgrounds ruled against Trump.
1/🧵 Judges across ideological lines are ruling against Trump at strikingly similar rates (84% liberal, 86% centrist, 82% conservative). This isn't partisan opposition to Trump—it's the judiciary functioning as intended by cutting across partisan lines to uphold the Constitution.
Show Up For Our Libraries! By eliminating the only federal agency dedicated to funding library services, the Trump administration's Executive Order is cutting off at the knees the most beloved and trusted of American institutions and the staff and services they offer. ALA American Library Association. #ForOurLibraries
🚨NEW🚨: Donald Trump is attempting to strip away federal support for libraries. We will NOT let that happen.
Last night the President signed an order to gut the Institute of Museum & Library Services. But together, we know we can show up & defeat it.

I'm super excited to share this short brief on who has power over the Department of Education, what the ED Sec can do, and what Executive Orders can do.
There's a lot of info (and links!) packed into one place. I hope it's helpful. Please share.
