A wonderful full-circle moment: I ran into @soortle at a coffee shop during #AERA24, and she came to my presentation. Her education classes at @Wellesley are the reason I am here.

[Soo Hong @soortle]

@annagmoyer @Wellesley And a true full-circle moment is when you come visit us!

[Soo Hong @soortle]

@annagmoyer @Wellesley Truly an epic AERA moment! I’m so happy you stayed in the field and can’t wait to see where you take it!

Thanks to @AvashiaNeema for sharing her courageous and light-filled story with my @Wellesley students yesterday. We left with heats full and so much to ponder. Her book-Another Appalachia- is a treasure.

[Soo Hong @soortle]

I think my students are going to remember this conversation for a long time…

[Neema Avashia @AvashiaNeema]

Today I got to talk about Another Appalachia with amazing @Wellesley students. I was so moved by their careful reading, their deep questions, and the way in which they kept saying, “I saw myself in here.” Mirrors, y’all. Don’t discount them.

[Soo Hong @soortle]

@cat_holubward Ahhh…I love summer reading as back to school prep! Glad you enjoyed it.

[Soo Hong @soortle]

What an honor to support you in this way. Your work is discerning while gracious, elegant in its storytelling while relentless in its truth-telling. Congratulations Dr. Bruhn! I can’t wait to see what you do next @SarahBruhn3!

[Sarah Bruhn @SarahBruhn3]

My committee, @RGGonzales1 @soortle and Sara Lawrence-Lightfoot, helped me find my voice, trusted my decisions, and stood by me through the wild journey of pandemic parenting/dissertating. Thank you for being such an incredible team. These generous words mean so much.

[Soo Hong @soortle]
