Husband, father, & grad student @GradSocPurdue / Studying sociology so that when my daughter gets into Hogwarts, I can follower her to teach muggle studies

@RayaKhedker Not for deep reading. But I have young kids, and listening is better than not reading at all

[Adam Kotanko (He/him/his) @kotankoa]

@schizesq Baths are a 2-3 times per week. The rest of the routine generally consists of trying to get kids to stop jumping on beds, into pajamas, with teeth brushed, etc. But we do read for about half an hour every night

Me at beginning of sem: If I can get through IRB this sem, I'll be good

IRB: We'll ask for a bunch of minor revisions, but we'll spread them out over several submissions, each of which will take a month+ for new revision

Me now: Maybe next semester?

IRB: So naive! (evil laugh)

@steph_wils @UNCOSociology @NPRCodeSwitch @applysociology Thanks so much for sharing; this is great! I think I'll rework the class to read this around Halloween next time I teach it :-) Have you listened to the show @yourewrongabout? It's great for moral panics (including, if I'm remembering right, an episode on Halloween panics)

[Adam Kotanko (He/him/his) @kotankoa]

This is right on. All the time

The great thing about having two small kids is I can simultaneously feel guilty for not doing enough for my career AND not being present enough to my children. It’s a disappointing all worlds situation.

@CoffeeBaseball Thanks; I appreciate it!

[Adam Kotanko (He/him/his) @kotankoa]

@CoffeeBaseball I have a terrible time reading since becoming a parent. I listen to audiobooks as much as I can, which is (for me) good for substantive stuff but not theory. Lately, I'm trying to spend 45min reading each morning after writing (1.5hrs), but it means waking @ 4-5am (kids up at 7)

Working on a grant app, & 3/4 of the multi-k total would go to childcare costs (the rest to housing)

[Adam Kotanko (He/him/his) @kotankoa]

@GradSocPurdue @BayleeHudgens Such an interesting presentation!

[Adam Kotanko (He/him/his) @kotankoa]

Trying to make a cake at my brother's house gives me sympathy for people on baking shows. All the tools are just different & unfamiliar enough to make everything take twice as long and come out wrong

[Adam Kotanko (He/him/his) @kotankoa]

Now that I've finished my roundtable, I can finally sit back and enjoy LA...by finishing the web content for a book so that I can pay my bills & then planning my fall social problems course

[Adam Kotanko (He/him/his) @kotankoa]

Traveling to a conference with family is the epitome of grad school with kids. I want to spend the whole trip with the family AND at the conference simultaneously and feel sad/guilty about missing either, even while attending to the other #ASA2022

[Adam Kotanko (He/him/his) @kotankoa]

@sheathescholar I have an official policy that I apply if someone tries to turn everything in at once. But for most late work, I just accept it at full credit, unless something we did in class depended on that work being done by a certain date

[Adam Kotanko (He/him/his) @kotankoa]

@jeffguhin My wife & I have this exact conversation several times a week

[Adam Kotanko (He/him/his) @kotankoa]

@Nic_Frame So glad that your students spoke up!

[Adam Kotanko (He/him/his) @kotankoa]

Well deserved; he's also a great adviser!

[Purdue Department of Sociology @PurdueSociology]

Congratulations Dr. Winchester!

[Adam Kotanko (He/him/his) @kotankoa]

@kerbygoff I like the sentiment . . . but not sure about the degree of commitment . . .

[Adam Kotanko (He/him/his) @kotankoa]

@GallegaRgee @OpenAcademics @PhD_Genie The same thing happened to me on Friday :-)

[Adam Kotanko (He/him/his) @kotankoa]

I noticed a dead fly on the sill yesterday but forgot to clean it. Our 1yo has started climbing chairs, & this pm, I caught him with a chair against the window, lips puckered & fly gone. My wife & 4yo said they didn't clean it. So it looks like our 1yo cleaned up the fly himself
