Are we aware that it has been months since the last time? sadly, yes. Are we trying to do better despite so much uncertainty and foreseeable doom? yes, but key word here is trying. In this episode, we gather up our courage and catch up on the year, what is new and how we're showing up to this time.

Phew it has been over a year since we last spoke! In this episode we take some time to introduce ourselves and why we keep coming back to this space. We also do a quick Anzaldúa 101 & discuss the lessons we're taking with us post-Ph.D!

This episode was recorded before the tragic shooting at Club Q in CO. Our hearts are with the families of the victims: Raymond Green Vance (he/him), Kelly Loving (she/her), Daniel Aston (he/him), Derrick Rump (he/him), Ashley Paugh (she/ her). To quote Lauren Hough in her New York Times essay, "We protect ourselves. We’ll fight for our own. We always have. We’ll mourn. We’ll raise money. We’ll organize. And we’ll keep fighting, until all of us are safe, everywhere."

In this episode, (our first since July), we talk about the nomadic nature of the post Ph.D. life, the ways it can provide some new perspective, and also the hardships that occur when you move for the next opportunity.

What is an academic book and how does one go about publishing their first one? In this episode, we are joined by a very special guest and Anzaldúing listener Alejandra Mejía, Assistant Editor at Duke University Press where she acquires books in Latinx History. Ale helps us unravel the mystery of approaching a press, what she looks for in prospective authors, and much more. This one is for our fellow first-gen scholars, we hope it helps you navigate the enigma that is academic publishing!

We meant to get this out last month, but like so many, we are managing our burn out in the middle of a global pandemic as best as we can. It's been a long time since we last spoke to you all, almost a year! We decided to do our favorite thing: check-in! and talk about what has happened since our last episode. spoiler: we're both in the country this year.
