My time in Finland is already coming to a close! The 3 months flew by, but it was so fun learning about Finnish child welfare, getting to know folks at @INVEST_Flagship, and experiencing Turku with my wonderful host @HakovirtaMia! I can’t wait to see what comes next #INVESTfellow

@HakovirtaMia Topinoja is the highlight of the trip so far! 😂

I’ve been a Visiting Research Fellow with @INVEST_Flagship for three weeks now. Take a look at what motivated me to apply for the fellowship and what I hope to learn while I’m here! #INVESTFellow @UWMadSocialWork

I’ve been loving the experience of jumping into Finnish culture (quite literally in this case). And I can confirm, this water WAS quite cold. 🥶

Thanks for convincing me to try and for braving the cold with me, @HakovirtaMia! #INVESTfellow

🔥HOT OFF THE PRESS!🔥

In my new publication, I consider how foster care standards in 3 countries influence access to licensure for relative caregivers. Check it out in Children and Youth Services Review’s January issue!

I sure didn’t see this ruling, especially not with a 7-2 margin, coming in the #Brackeen case, but am so relieved that #SCOTUS ruled to uphold #ICWA. It’s a good day for #indigenousrights and #tribalsovereignty! https://t.co/5C0Ww1TY3J
