    From First Job to Career: Why Your First Job Doesn’t Have to Define You

    What was your very first “real” job? Maybe it came after high school or college, or maybe it came long before that. Maybe it aligned with your academic degree or credentials exactly, or, perhaps, it looked nothing like the work for which you thought you were preparing. For many of us, the transition into the […]

    Rethinking Competition: A Fresh Perspective on Its Role in Society

    We frequently engage in competition—whether as participants or facilitators—across various contexts, often without conscious awareness or even while denying its presence.

Groaned when Grok garbled your guidance for a third time? Just a year ago, I knew little about “LLMs” […]

    Leading the way for Generation Alpha

    Culture, healthcare, and mortality meet

    This blog celebrates publication of Facing death across cultures, a book four years in the making, begun as the pandemic first erupted. Inspiration for the book germinated two decades ago, when I was composing music for a documentary about Mitsuo Aoki, who founded the Department of Religion at the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa and […]

    Why don’t we see more autistic people in academia?

    When I was a little girl, bullied by my peers and misunderstood by my teachers, I couldn’t wait to be a grown-up. I dreamed of my future life as a professor, filling my brain with facts and my shelves with books. In my ivory tower, I would be surrounded by peers who shared my love […]
