Native women activists continue to inspire me. A sobering reminder I have a higher chance of dying than getting my PhD. #MMIW #MMIR

For children of the 90s, our paper "married with children" on intermarriage + racial attitudes just dropped (2016 CMPS). Mahalo to my co-authors: Natasha Altema McNelly and @edwarddvargas. Find it @PGI_WPSA.

Today, I celebrate a new milestone. One of many I hope to receive. My first peer review rejection from Political Science and Politics! With @drsteveu

[Mel Fillmore @MelFillmore]

Today, I sit with a lot of gratitude for Dr. @TonyAffigne, who after providing kick ass feedback on my WPSA conference paper, took the time to connect me to scholars working on Indigenous issues. An hour conversation and a couple of emails can provide so much to junior scholars.

Missing and Murdered Indigenous Persons Conference Idaho: The next steps. Reppin Boise State.

Outside of my dissertation committee and a few lone folks holding down the fort in Gender Equity and Student Equity...Boise State had used up and bled out all my favorite people.

@MarnieNichole Keep us posted!!!

[Mel Fillmore @MelFillmore]

@drsteveu I'm like 99.9% certain I'll never be published 🤔😬😭😆

[Mel Fillmore @MelFillmore]

@JohnHolbein1 It's awful when graduate students of color know their findings will never show significance because settler-colonial white supremacy works exactly as it was meant to.

[Mel Fillmore @MelFillmore]

Shout out to a badass academic Auntie @ngoctphan and this group of Indigenous Hawaiian students doing incredible work. You make me feel at home. #WPSA22

[Mel Fillmore @MelFillmore]

Shout out to WPSA women of color mini conference talking about negotiating salary, benefits, extractive labor, abuse and harm in the academy. #Reppin_REP

[Mel Fillmore @MelFillmore]

@drsteveu Congratulations 👏

[Dr. Ngọc T. Phan @ngoctphan]

My Academic Auntie dreams come true next week. My Native Hawaiian Survey team will meet the Guahan Survey Team @WPSA. Look for us at panels in REP, APAC-mini conference, and the gala/fundrasiser/dance! We have two undergraduate students traveling all the way from Guam.

[Mel Fillmore @MelFillmore]

I co-authored this piece with Dr. Lane Gillespie from @BoiseStateSPS criminal justice program. This work is not possible without our Idaho Tribal communities and grassroots orgs working on #MMIP

[AAPI Data @AAPIData]

Data disaggregation helps us understand differences in outcomes across AAPI groups, but that doesn't mean there aren't opportunities for solidarity and unity across groups. Learn more from @karthickr and @ProfJanelleWong below!

@JenDSchneider You stop that right now! You're an inspiration and I would not be where I am without your leadership!

I got to meet @mcclaurintweets
at the American Anthropology Association national conference. She recorded me, answering "why anthropology?"

[Dr. Irma McClaurin, speaking only for myself @mcclaurintweets]

For @CiteBlackWomen Sunday: #MelanieFillmore, who is Hunkpapa, Lakota, Standing Rock Sioux Tribe, & grad student @BoiseState, on #WhyAnthropology. Uses #ethnographicmethods in #politicalscience research to work in marginalized #indigeneous communities.
