Minimal surface singularities are Lipschitz normally embedded
Any germ of a complex analytic space is equipped with two natural metrics:
the {\it outer metric} induced by the hermitian metric of the ambient space and
the {\it inner metric}, which is the associated riemannian metric on the germ.
We show that minimal surface singularities are Lipschitz normally embedded
(LNE), i.e., the identity map is a bilipschitz homeomorphism between outer and
inner metrics, and that they are the only rational surface singularities with
this property.Comment: This paper is a major revision of the 2015 version. It now builds on
the paper arXiv:1806.11240 by the same authors which gives a general
characterization of Lipschitz normally embedded surface singularitie

Mourning My Mother: An Exploration of the Complex Emotions Elicited by the Terminal Illness of an Estranged Parent
In 2017, I learned that my estranged mother had been diagnosed with terminal cancer. This article explores the conflicting emotional responses I have had following the decision not to reconnect with my mother, not to provide care for her during her illness, and not to attend her funeral (when the time comes). This study combines my own creative explorations of child neglect, through autophenomenography, with examinations of autobiographical accounts of mother-daughter relationships and literature on family estrangement and the loss of a parent. I suggest that I already ‘read’ myself as a motherless daughter, and that caring, (re)mourning, and (re)grieving for my mother would entail reentering a dysfunctional dyad and opening up past wounds. There appear to be few resources to draw on regarding how to navigate this particular emotional terrain. This article does not intend to provide a prescriptive model for this type of loss, but rather aims at opening up for queer modes of grieving and mourning and suggests that, in some cases, the denial of care for an estranged parent translates into self-care and self-preservation. 
About falling apart and trusting the process: Snapshots from the life (and work) of an academic with ADHD
In this essay, I give an autophenomenographical account of what it is like for me to be late-diagnosed with ADHD while in the process of writing my dissertation. I explain how ADHD is an invisible disability and how little help is offered when the medication does not work. I explore how, because of my ADHD, my brain is at the same time my most valuable resource/tool and my worst enemy. I describe the various challenges in my life, psychological as well as physical, and call for academic institutions to provide structures that allow for non-normative temporalities and ways of doing research. In this essay, I offer some snapshots of my own experiences in the hope that neurodivergent students and scholars will see themselves reflected (and accepted), as opposed to an academic article about neurodivergents written by a neurotypical scholar.In this essay, I give an autophenomenographical account of what it is like for me to be late-diagnosed with ADHD while in the process of writing my dissertation.

Negotiating Cultural Identities Through Language: Academic English In Jordan
This article discusses how a group of multilingual scholars in Jordan negotiate multiple linguistic and cultural affiliations. These writers\u27 experiences demonstrate the varied ways English\u27s global dominance affects individuals\u27 lives. The scholars find both empowerment and disempowerment in English, viewing English as linked to Western hegemony in some situations and as de-nationalized and de-territorialized in others
