62: Allie Triglianos on Tattoos in Higher Ed & Femmes in Hardcore

WELCOME BACK TO THE EDUPUNX PODCAST

This week I chat with Allie Triglianos, who is a Residence Director at Rutgers. Allie has been in Residence Life for YEARS - and the experiences she has amassed along the way have given her a great perspective on how to support students from all walks of life. Allie is a VERY visibly tattooed professional, which plays a massive role in her relationships with students on her campus. It can also create interesting interactions with colleagues and administrators - but sometimes those folks surprise us in their levels of acceptance. We explore that in this episode. Allie also came up in the NY/NJ hardcore scene and has gone to great lengths to dedicate herself to the scene - we dig into this life of hers and how aging a bit changes our perspective on getting into the pit. Hope you enjoy this one!

MUSIC NOTE:
- This week you got to hear tunes from the new Community College LP, which is due out in March through Disposable America!
- We played the songs, “Novacaine,” and ‘Karaoke” on the episode this week - they’re both super chill songs and if you like what you heard, visit disposable-america.com to snag yourself a cassette before the release in March.
- And in case you missed last week’s episode on label owners, make sure you listen to that episode ASAP because it features Dustin Watson, who runs Disposable America.

In March, Craig hosted a panel for Tattooed Professionals at the ACPA Convention in Houston, Texas. The theme for this year's ACPA Convention was "Be Bold" and on his third attempt submitting this panel idea to other conventions, it was finally accepted! After all, what's more bold than being tattooed!

Big thanks to the panelists, Ryan Bunts, Liv Parks, Katy Hamm, Patrick Romero-Aldaz, and Rasha Cheek for contributing so much to this rich conversation on tattoos, professionalism, and how they allow us to convey different aspects of our identities while connecting with our students!

We are grateful for the ACPA planning committee for allowing us to use the audio from this presentation for the purposes of this podcast. Granted, we couldn't use all of the audio - primarily due to some audience questions not coming through in the mix - but what we are able to share makes for a quality conversation on the changing dynamics of professionalism in higher education.
