Abstract: A layered, fractured text, this piece plays in the space afforded by an invitation to reflect on neoliberalism in the academy. Seeking by way of story to make sense, make meaning of the personal in the political, the author finds herself in a poetic “ruminarrative” accounting of the fragments, the fictions, and the funnies that define (and defy) this academic life.

Abstract: Pursuing the notion of verbal rumination as a theoretical method, this autoethnography plays in the space between fact and fiction, past and possibility. A disorganized narrative, by any definition of the term, this repetitive, ruminative, and relational storying plays in the shadows of subjectivities, in fragments of memory and possibility, storying a life lived, half-lived, unlived. Restorying a life that might be, could be, would be.

Abstract: A ruminative storying and restorying of a life lived in the consequences of space and time, this layered, “disorganized” narrative explores distance in its many and varied forms. Questioning the narrative principle of coherence, the writing plays in the space between presence and absence, distance and desire. Here and there. A psychography of sorts, the resultant piece attempts to make meaning of those interactional accidents of proximity that leave us loved, loving, leaving, or left. And also, and so very inevitably, bruised by the incidental and tedious trauma of it all. In wrangling this space, I seek to embrace the small moments that leave us changed in small ways those fragments of experience that resist the imposition of coherence, that defy storying, that live on the edge of our narrative world.

Abstract: Situated in the interplay between and among the creative and critical, the lyrical and liminal, the communicative and performative, this fractured, layered essay explores the hopeless/hopeful flight of tales of trauma in this time of the Crisis Ordinary. In the safe space, safe place afforded by autoethnography, I reflect on the luxury of silence and dream of world peace.

Abstract: Many people experience a non-marital relationship breakup, which can lead to poor adjustment outcomes however, relative to orce, non-marital breakups have received less research attention, particularly on factors that may predict positive adjustment outcomes. We examined the adaptive role of finding benefits in a non-marital breakup in 140 participants who completed measures of benefit finding, the impact of the event, and adjustment. Regression analyses found that benefit finding related to positive adjustment outcomes and that the benefit finding-depression relationship was moderated by the impact of the event. This study provides empirical support for benefit finding in a non-marital relationship breakup.

DOI: 10.1177/15327086231188053
Abstract: This performative piece indulges in the critical feminist pseudo-fantasies of a sleep-deprived woman in her 40’s—a woman of a certain . . . rage. This ruminative offering presents a lyrical rendering provoked by reflection on the one-note-wonders of the patriarchy, and inspired in part by Caroline Criado-Perez’s book “ Invisible Women: Data Bias in a World Designed for Men” and the poignant provocation offered by Bryant Keith Alexander. Playing in the liminal and critical spaces of poetic inquiry, the resulting autoethnographic essay explores the viral legacies of law and legislation, and the cures and consequences of aging as a woman in a world wrought by midnight fairy tales of crones and witches.

Abstract: This autoethnographic essay gives voice to the silent screams and layering of smiles and selves on souls that make-up and mask our everyday experience. Playing in the spaces between and among the lyrical and liminal, creative and critical, I reflect on the little fictions of omission and commission that compose our daily deception.

Abstract: This autoethnographic piece reflects on the cost of living and loving in this beautiful and broken, “crisis ordinary” world. In the interplay of the creative and critical, lyrical and liminal, I write on the human imperative to find heart in a hopeless place. I find inspiration in the poetry of Czelaw Milosz and kindness in communication and, in so doing, advocate for the small nothings that bring us solace and personal preservation in the face of big wicked problems and distant-witnessed disaster.

Abstract: A disorganized narrative in both form and content, this article presents the storying and restorying of distant witness experience in the wake of recent natural disaster. A layered, fractured text the writing blurs the lines between sense and nonsense making, self and other. Presenting the notion of verbal rumination as a theoretical method: This repetitive, ruminative narrative plays with the warm fuzzy and sometimes cold and prickly consequences of interpersonal storying. The resultant piece reflects a psychography of sorts, and seeks to make sense of the nonsensical, to organize the disorganized, to reconcile the irreconcilable. As with all natural disasters, it is a work in progress. My own little earthquake.
