Tenured!

I’m happy to announce that my promotion to Associate Professor with tenure was approved by Penn’s Board of Trustees. I’m eager to use my newfound powers for good, chiefly by continuing to work to make the academy a better place for all.

My thoughts on this milestone in a May 2021 Twitter thread below.

There’s plenty of sorrow in the world, but I’m feeling grateful. Today marks the two-week anniversary of my second shot, I pay off the last of my student loans this month, and I learned yesterday that I have been granted tenure and promotion to associate professor at Penn. 1/
