I am a footnote

Sometimes I get so bored working on the things I have to for grad school that instead of continuing to google-scholar things like "feminist curriculum", I google-scholar my own name. Of course, everyone has googled their name, but this was the first time I'd done it in Google Scholar. And I got a little ego boost that my name does in fact come up, and that a paper I wrote in college about spoken word poetry has been used as a reference in someone's book called Stand and Deliver: political activism, leadership, and hip hop culture. Wow, I guess I should order this book. Or at least put it on my wishlist. (Done. Just click on the right.)

It's pretty cool, isn't it?

I recently found myself in an Eric search because of an article I'd co-written and published while in grad school about 11 years ago, but it doesn't come up in Google Scholar. Oddly, I wasn't vanity searching; I was trying to login and didn't realize that I was already on the search page because the system hadn't logged me out from my last session a short while earlier.

Can't say I've been footnoted, though.
