 ## Architecture
 
-**Content** lives in Markdown files with YAML front matter. Posts go in `_posts/` (organized in year subdirectories). Static pages (`bio.md`, `research.md`, `teaching.md`, `advising.md`) sit at the root.
+**Content** lives in Markdown files with YAML front matter and in `_data/` YAML files. Narrative essay posts (≤2019) live in `_posts/` (organized in year subdirectories). Recent activity (2020+) lives in two data files: `_data/papers.yml` (comprehensive publications; an entry shows on the homepage only if it has a `blurb`) and `_data/highlights.yml` (talks and news). Static pages (`bio.md`, `research.md`, `teaching.md`, `advising.md`) sit at the root.
 
 **Layouts** in `_layouts/` define page structure. The `default` layout wraps everything (nav, GA, scripts); `page` and `post` extend it for content pages; `tools` is a special layout for the tools listing.
 
 **Includes** in `_includes/` are reusable partials: `welcome.md` (homepage intro), `scripts.html` (JS deps), `tool.md` (single tool entry template).
 
 **Styling** is hand-written SCSS in `css/app.scss` (compiled by Jekyll's built-in `jekyll-sass-converter` to `css/app.css`), with site variables in `_sass/_settings.scss`. There is no CSS framework, Bower, Grunt, or Compass. The accordion is driven by vanilla JS in `js/app.js`. Icons are inline SVG via `_includes/icon.html`.
 
-**Homepage logic** (`index.html`): posts are filtered to exclude `special-layouts` (tools) defined in `_config.yml`, and old posts (pre-2013) are hidden behind a toggle. Posts display in an accordion grouped by year.
+**Homepage logic** (`index.html`): a data block renders `_data/papers.yml` entries that have a `blurb`, concatenated with all `_data/highlights.yml` entries and sorted by date; below it, an essay block renders `_posts/` content (excluding `special-layouts`/tools and the hidden 2011–2012 years). Each entry is rendered by `_includes/feed-entry.html`. The two blocks rely on the invariant that all data items are 2020+ and all essays are ≤2019, so they don't interleave.
 
 **Post front matter** fields to know:

+    *I presented a collaborative research on a laboratory of quadruped robot encounters at the 1st annual [Trustworthy Autonomous Systems (TAS) Symposium](https://symposium.tas.ac.uk/) in Edinburgh, Scotland. The paper reports that identifying the robot's role and purpose are central concerns for participants and identifies methodological challenges of human-robot encounters research.*

+    **Update: this post is now filled. Welcome to UT Austin, [Boh Chun](https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Bohkyung-Chun-2)!**
+
+    *Come work with me! Applications due May 1, 2022, with an anticipated start on September 1, 2022.*
+
+    *"The Living and Working with Robots (LWR) project at UT Austin invites applications for a postdoctoral fellow who conducts sociotechnical research at the intersection of emerging technologies and real-world communities. As a Core Research Project of the Good Systems Research Grand Challenge, the LWR project's mission is to build and study robot systems designed to benefit the specific communities in which they are deployed. The selected researcher will become a valued member of our multidisciplinary team, supervised by LWR Co-Lead Dr. Elliott Hauser of the School of Information. The fellow is expected to collaborate on existing LWR projects and to lead one or more independent research projects involving our site. An individualized mentoring and career development plan will include a secondary faculty mentor, chosen by mutual agreement, and peer mentoring opportunities with other UT Austin postdoctoral fellows. Compensation includes salary, benefits, and generous research and travel support."*

By bringing together researchers interested in longitudinal studies on real-world human-interactive long-term deployments, we hope to arrive at a clearer vision of how best to study these systems."*

+    *"Living and working in community inevitably occasions experiences of the other, and automated technologies form a new kind of 'other' layered into these complex spaces. Phenomena of life and work amidst new technologies are studied by many disciplines. However, have we fully understood how the growth of autonomous technologies within communities is reconfiguring each? Do we have the methodological tools and access to this phenomenon to even gauge whether we understand it? Can we keep the racial, economic, political, and cultural complexity of communities in view when studying automation?"*

We're prepared to hear responses like "robots don't make sense here," and we're going in with open minds and expect to be surprised. What can library staff and patrons teach us about how they work and what they value? It's a really different way of working that requires time, patience, and resources."*
