To my dear subscribers—

I am writing to you with this quarterly professional update as I begin my spring semester. This semester, I am continuing to work on my dissertation on the history of Black Psychology while serving as a Teaching Fellow for two science studies courses in my department at Harvard and down the road at MIT.

My updates this quarter concern some changes I’m making to this platform on Substack, and upcoming opportunities to connect with me in the classroom and during my research travels.
