Scholars never spent much time on Strauss & Howe, but their generational theory has lived on in public opinion. I’ve been grateful for Pew, who have made age cohorts as sound as the science allows. But I see them saying the science isn’t strong enough to sustain.
For the past couple of years, I’ve been collecting links and information to share with my network. The content broadly falls into four categories — Dementia Care, Gender Expansive Identities, Academic, and COVID-19 — though tangents and overlaps abound.

We might never be quarantined and yet we are an active participant, lacking any communal context for […]
To earn many Master’s degrees and (probably) all PhDs, students must demonstrate what they have learned by performing and analyzing original research. This is the thesis or dissertation (usage varies by university, but my school and most others use “thesis” for Master’s, “dissertation” for PhD). Beyond the skills of theory, literature review, methodology, and analysis […]
