Im shaking so hard i can barely type. This novel saw me through nearly a decade of my life; she is my whole heart. It is the honor of my life to share that THE ORIGINAL DAUGHTER is forthcoming from @BoudreauxLee & @doubledaybooks, I cannot believe it.

If we had two Thomas The Tank Engine stickers, we'd give them to GEI PAs Candice and Joanne for their recent work on #BulletTrain!

Please read. The UCP government‘s cuts will have (and already had) detrimental effects on Alberta‘s postsecondary institutions. This province will inevitably lose some of its brightest minds as a consequence.
Why should Albertans care about what the UCP govt is doing to post-secondary education institutions, including the @UAlberta? #Alberta #abpoli #abspe #StopPSEcuts #UAlberta @ryanjespersen @660NEWS @edmontonjournal @GlobalEdmonton @CAUS @cafaab @The_Gateway #Yeg @davideggenAB

Prisons remain a hotbed for COVID-19. Vaccinate the people who live or work in them and address vaccine hesitancy! ⁦@dpyrooz⁩ ⁦@R_Ricciardelli⁩ and my piece in the Globe and Mail. ⁦@RSCTheAcademies⁩ ⁦@theUAPP⁩ ⁦@CCR_UofA⁩ theglobeandmail.com/canada/a…

Very happy about this new article in #criminology with @kevindhaggerty examining discretion among correctional officers. Based on interviews with staff working in Western Canadian prisons using the @theUAPP data set. @CCR_UofA @UAlbertaSoc @CrimWomenKnow @ASCRM41 @PrisonApjs
1. Hopefully something that scholars of prisons, discretion etc. will find interesting. 2. Certainly an unexpected career development @SBucerius @CCR_UofA @ASCRM41

Now that we have canceled Donald Trump, now would be a good time to cancel all student debt.

A rare privilege to be able to collaborate with Dr. Bucerius on research examining discretion in prison. Please take a look. @CommCrim @ASCRM41 @SSHRC_CRSH @BritSocCrim
A new piece from ⁦@theUAPP⁩ data in Criminology. ⁦@kevindhaggerty⁩ and I discuss how a officer‘s Habitus and views on how decisions will be interpreted shapes individual instances of discretion making in prisons. ⁦@SSHRC_CRSH⁩ onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…

And finally, in the states where marijuana was legalized, we demand legislation that creates an inclusive, racially equitable cannabis industry, enables robust expungement of records, and invests revenue in the communities hit hardest by unjust drug law enforcement.
