For random thoughts, check out @lizdubois on Twitter. For longer thoughts take a look at my blog – this is also where you will find links to op-eds, journal articles and presentations. If you are looking for my academic articles, Google Scholar has you covered (or feel free to contact me for a complete list of publications and conference presentations).
