Each year, I try to take a stab at describing, as simply as possible, the major projects that I have been working on for the year. The nature of academic publishing means I often work on projects months and years before they ever see the light of day, and that is very much the case this year. While I\u2019ll link to some related publications below, most of the work here is related to books and projects that will come out in 2023 and beyond.*<\/p>\n

I described my work in 2021 as \u201ctransitional\u201d and I feel similarly about my work this year. I focused my time on methodological experimentation, speculative education, and public-facing approaches to research (have you subscribed to La Cuenta<\/em><\/a> yet?). These all feel like the areas I am trying to better understand and my work is navigating into territories I’ve not yet traversed around these themes.<\/p>\n

(My roundup of work from previous years can be found here: 2021<\/a>,\u00a02020<\/a>,\u00a02019<\/a>,\u00a02018<\/a>.)<\/p>\n
