What a wonderful #NAPS2025 We were able to celebrate my advisor’s retirement w two dedicated sessions & a reception. I ended the conference with one of the most fun panels I have ever been on spotlighting @drewjakeprof.bsky.social ‘s Gospel Thrillers. I truly needed this. Until next time, nerds!

You think your students are cool? Mine make board games out of class content for their final unessay ⭐️🥰
I really love my last book cover and picked out the art piece myself #BishopsinFlight then went to see the image in Venice last November.
First low key #sblaar mostly surrounded by brilliant female scholars and trusted colleagues. It was a balm to teenuous return to the large conference cycle. Staying offsite with a beloved academic sibling was also so lovely. Mid-career conferencing just hits different ❤️
