Not me sliding into Jennifer Garner's Instagram DMs this morning, trying to get help to nominate her for a honorary degree. She's West Virginia's favorite daughter! Let's do this!
Hi ISA/IR friends-- I'm looking for someone to be a discussant on the following panels. The ISA Virtual Conference runs from July 30 to August 2. If you could help, please let me know. If registration costs are going to be an issue, we can work something out as well.
Channeling one of my favorite TV doctors today... but it's a beautiful day to get some writing done.
It’s so good… and so many touching stories. It’s rare that I don’t cry with an episode!
Would anyone be willing to share their grad IPE syllabus with me? I haven't taught it since Spring 2021 and I'd love to revamp it a bit. Feel free to share via email: christina dot fattore at mail dot wvu dot edu. Thanks!
I decided to skip the Greek Currency Crisis today and instead tackle Brexit because I was losing student interest in all these various monetary policy issues. It was a win!
Good thing about going to a conference: I have some exciting new ideas for new projects!
Bad thing about going to a conference: I still have old projects that I need to finish before I start on anything new.
My students are getting some left over trick or treat candy because our bowl was too dark for ToTers to realize there was some good candy in there!
Ever have one of those weeks where you're coming off an illness and you just can't connect to anything you were working on prior to that? Sigh.
I haven't been to an in person conference since 2019-- and I'm going to ISA-NE this week. I am so nervous. It doesn't matter how many conferences I've been to, getting back up on that horse is nerve wracking!
I need to start making better choices about what I *need* to do in academia vs what actually makes me *happy* about being an academic
Why are conclusions so hard to write?
The absolute worst!
Currently reviewing an article that should have been desk rejected. What a waste of my time.
A great post by Active Learning in Political Science this morning!!

I’m feeling under the weather (no COVID) so I re-watched Practical Magic. How is that movie 25 years old?
Women more likely to leave academia due to work place climate than due to work family conflict.
Ooh!! Sky Full of Stars from Sing 2!!! As soon as you said gorilla I figured it was one of the songs from Sing. You’re welcome!
I went to the Eras movies yesterday afternoon and it was amazing! A great treat after grading all morning! And yes— I got merch!
I read through my whole book draft. Welp. I guess it’s time to write the conclusion.
Just finished making friendship bracelets with my daughter for the past hour. It’s small things like this that kids remember ❤️
My seven year old told me that her least favorite subject at school is social studies, and that's just a dagger in this mama's heart!
I'm reading through my book manuscript in order to (1) revise and (2) make it easier to write my conclusion and damn, my theory chapter is on fire!
I just found out that my university has an autism support group that costs— I am not joking— $5000 a semester. It’s cost prohibitive. they said it isn’t free bc it doesn’t create an equal opportunity for students. At $5k a semester, it sure doesn’t create an equal opportunity!
Christina and her cat snuggling
Also, yes, my kitty Ruthie loves to literally snuggle— see that little hug? She’s so sweet.
My public library card is currently suspended because my daughter has two over due books. It is killing me not to be able to check stuff out via Libby right now. #booknerd
Just realized that the working title of my book is … very similar to one published not in my field but in a related field about 6 years ago. Argh
