If you study migration & public admin and want to use #FOIA #ATIP requests to delve into policy work, this article is for you. It examines how the surge in pending refugee claims influences the practices of Canada’s Immigration and Refugee Board.

My article has been accepted by @PUB_INTEGRITY , where I delve into power dynamics in public administration, focusing on #FOIA & #ATIP mechanisms. A reviewer commended it as a "unique perspective on transparency and power structures." I am truly proud of this work. @CAIJ_UW

@danielh_g @deonteleologist Exactly! Saying slavery is wrong has nothing to do with someone's feelings. The horrendous history of owning human beings as personal property and depriving them of their liberty can not be presented as a neutral fact. Slavery is made possible by dehumanization and subjugation.

I had an abortion when I was 18. I had no intention to be a parent; I was ready to do whatever it took to free myself. I ended that pregnancy legally and safely in Turkey. By making abortion illegal, legislators aren't saving lives, they are destroying *some women's lives.

I am on my way to the Congress and excited to discuss all things public agencies in Canada. We have three panels and 12 papers! In early 2010s, a dissertation committee member had told me this wasn't political science. 😏 Come join us at Acc. West-ACW 304. #CPSA_ACSP23

I wasn't the most gifted person in my #PhD cohort; I didn't enjoy the seminars and often felt out of place. But I was the one who got the first #academic job and a national prize. What made a difference was my unwavering commitment to the process. #discipline #AcademicTwitter

Writing breaks with my favorite kayak partner are often the best moments of my day.

I am extremely happy. An MA student of mine @pol_ulaval got the @SSHRC_CRSH scholarship. He wasn't even planning to apply! I am so glad I pushed him to do so. #mentorship #mentoring #academia

Taking a much needed weekend getaway with my favorite guys before the beginning of the #Fallsemester . Oh, and we are celebrating our 12th marriage anniversary. #academic #AcademicMentalHealth #nature

My University library @universitelaval has begun to offer borrowing services for print books. I will go pick them up in a few hours and will step on the campus for the first time since the end of February. Is it weird that I feel super excited? #AcademicTwitter #AcademicChatter

As I am conducting interviews for a research project I keep thinking about how research participants are offering us a gift (of their time, perceptions & experiences). As researchers, we decide what to do with their stories. This is both immense indebtedness and responsibility.

Quelle merveilleuse façon de se réveiller en apprenant que j'ai obtenu un financement de recherche de la Fondation canadienne pour la recherche juridique qui me permettra de compléter un projet examinant l'utilisation d'indicateurs de performance dans le secteur de la justice.

This reminds me of the senior male scholar who had said about my proposal "what you want to do isn't political science, it is law". That dissertation ended up receiving a national prize, and yes, in political science. We shouldn't let them define disciplinary boundaries.

I often think of the senior male scholar who did not like my work (which is a-ok) and described it as 'almost getting away with it, but not quite'. I don't have a fully formed conclusion as for why I found this so alien and striking, but I did.

During my vacation this summer, I am learning new ways of being: existing in a way that is calmer, gentler and more aware. I am taking the time to truly recharge. I even said no to a request for a work call- meaning I still checked email but I am learning-. #academia #vacation
