I loved being a part of this conversation about archipelagic listening as an educational stance and uniquely Caribbean sensibility. Thank you to the wonderful participants, my co-author Dr. Charissa Granger and the fine folks at University of Illinois Press for getting our chat to print.

On the importance of reading on the same topic across disciplines: I am currently reading "Care: The Highest Stage of Capitalism" by Professor Premilla Nadasen (who is a historian). Nadasen makes important points that echo the work of sociologist Dr. @jessicacalarco.com in "Holding It Together"

A leaf fluttered in through the window this morning, as if supported by the rays of the sun, a bird settled on the fire escape, joy in the task of coffee, joy accompanied me as I walked. - Anaïs Nin

It’s an important thing to (re)call how you arrived at the understandings you now currently take for granted. Research talks, I find, help with this.

Our broken child care system can learn a lot from New Mexico - the state that is leading the way in guaranteeing free child care for all. There is no better rate of return than investing in our children. The rest of the country should follow New Mexico’s lead.

On that last post: I genuinely cannot think of any good-faith reason to bar international adoptions from those 39 countries. Under this new ban, consulates will refuse adoption visas for any baby from Cuba, Haiti, Venezuela, Nigeria, or any of the 39 other countries.

hot grading tip: set a timer.

The twilight zone continues…

Solid mentorship: a smart thing to do for emerging scholars and to guide scholars to do as they enter the job market. that said, check these folks out!📯

Here's my thread of this year's new scholars in Economics of Education and Education Policy. These PhD students and postdocs are on the job market, so take a look (and spread the word to others who might benefit from exposure). And now onto the scholars... 👇

👋 I'm Danielle, and I'm on the #econjobmarket this year! Let's start with a student describing her segregated school: "The school felt temporary. Built like a warehouse with aluminum siding . . . I had a slipshod education" The twist? The student is white, and her school is private. A JMP 🧵 -->

A fence post at New York’s Bowling Green still showing the rough saw marks where, in July 1776, colonists cut off the crowns that used to adorn the tops. Colonists also pulled down a statute of King George III that once stood where the fountain is today.

I regret to confirm, waking up early before your household is often really really productive and mind-clearing. Woke up early (before 5!) and decided to just get to the things on my mind that had me up before 5. Did well for my checklist :).

we should all go out on October 18 and it's good that so many of us are planning to. but we should all start talking to each other about what we're going to do next, too - what we will withhold together if the abuses continue. we can go on offense, too! time.com/collections/...

The fact that these conditions are made increasingly unsurvivable for so many, is actually the point.

The Virginia Senate just told UVA it’s not getting state funding if it accepts the compact since UVA exists to serve Virginia, its residents, & their interests—not be a tool of the federal govt.

When the carrot comes with strings attached, it's just a stick in disguise.

“When I face the desolate impossibility of writing five hundred pages, a sick sense of failure falls on me, and I know I can never do it. Then gradually, I write one page and then another. One day's work is all I can permit myself to contemplate.” ― John Steinbeck #WritingSky #AcademicSky

A history of alligator paraphernalia, “Alligator Bait,” the “catchy”reinforcement of race and the sliding scale of “citizenship” as we know it.

#Seaweed farms are a dual solution for climate change & sustainable energy. - don't require freshwater, fertilizer, or arable land to grow, making it one of the most eco-friendly resources - naturally absorbs massive amounts of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere through photosynthesis helping 1/...

Year 2 of this "tradition": writing down one small good thing before I leave the classroom. You see what you look for, right? (So much to choose from today, too! 🙏)

Reviewing this disinformation filled document was a colossal effort! See link in thread to sign up to receive the comment and press package.

Super exciting paper showing that high schools vary in their impacts on civic engagement. Schools that are better at improving academic outcomes are also better at creating voters. Kirsten was a @wheelockpolicybu.bsky.social postdoc when she began this work, so it's thrilling to see the result.

A tiny gift I have given myself as a scurrying academic is remembering to add “transition” time to my calendar between tasks. So, if I have something at 3:15, I have “Transition to [thing]” in my schedule at the time I need to begin to make the mental switch for that thing.
