Please hire me as a postdoc. I have many useful skills (programming, electronics, digital fabrication, writing) that can be applied to many areas (feminist STS, disability studies, media studies,HCI, outer space) with many possible outputs (research creation, publications, products). I am also nice.

Anyone in the greater Kitchener-Waterloo area looking for a last-minute dept/community talk next week (Feb 24-27)? Looking at being in the area to talk migration, solidarity, support re ICE/CBP in the US + Canada, would love to add a second stop (esp if I can talk LGBTQ+ migration/refugee claims!)
