🚨 Are you "Too Quant to Crit?" New pub w/ @carltonfong.bsky.social in Contemporary Educational Psychology. We critique quant researchers' reliance on objectivity & neutrality by drawing attetion to methodological trauma & describing QuantCrit as an alternative approach. doi.org/10.1016/j.ce...

But in 2021 that order began to break. That year, according to The Texas Tribune, billionaire donors such as Harlan Crow and Robert Rowling worked behind the scenes with Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick to set up a conservative think tank at UT-Austin, which the Lege seeded with $6 million.

also, if you read that Texas Monthly piece about UT Austin and want to know a whole lot more about the executive vice president and provost, William Inboden, I wrote this in May: the-austin-tadarida.ghost.io/a-kingdom-on...

I hope the UT students are fighting for their right to learn about gender and race. Their voices carry the most weight.

BOOM! After over a thousand students, faculty, & workers gathered on campus to demand a rejection of Trump’s bribe, UVA SAYS NO LOYALTY OATH! ✊🏼✊🏿✊🏻✊🏾 M.I.T. ☑️ BROWN ☑️ PENN ☑️ USC☑️ UVA ☑️ This is People Power in Action. #DefendHigherEd

Remember when i said we're living in the scariest parts of a Gibson novel thanks to a bunch of dudes who misunderstand Gibson's novels? Well now I want to discuss the verified govt accounts spewing rightwing propaganda— possibly via a bot-run troll farm— & why you should block them for your safety.

A lot of y’all are not arguing about whether or not violence, in and of itself, is right or wrong, you’re arguing about when YOU believe the violence is justified. Y’all love violence. You soak in it like bath water. And while water comes in different forms, some you may dislike, it’s still water.

Some of the most chilling 2 minutes you've ever seen. Look at what's being said, openly, on one of the most popular TV channels in Israel. History is happening in front of our eyes. Don't look away. Please help share this widely. Read the full story here: zeteo.com/p/inside-the...

Me, a former New Yorker, looking at this from my country home..

This is trivial but the way the Trump administration communicates basically everything is incredibly rudimentary. It’s written like none of them have any formal education and they want that for everyone. Sigh

For the second year in a row, college graduation season is being marked by student activism in solidarity with Palestine, and consequent backlash.

The USA is barely recognizable after 4 months; if you think you can sit on the sidelines and it will be handed back to you in four years you are out of your mind.

The weather is so bad it looks like we are under attack in #AustinTX

If you want to understand what’s going on in the United States today, and why everything seems so vindictive, deliberately cruel, and inhumane, read Carol Anderson’s “White Rage: The Unspoken Truth of Our Racial Divide”

A federal judge on Thursday blocked President Donald Trump’s executive order to shut down the Education Department and ordered the agency to reinstate employees who were fired in mass layoffs.

The International Sociological Association (ISA) has been concerned for some time and condemned the acts of violence that have occurred in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

My first GRA (now a prof at Depaul) bought me this shirt in 2019 because I would always tell my students numbers are tools not truth. It was quite literally my stats mantra. I say it so often that my research team adopted it as our lab motto. #Numbers4Justice #QuantCrit #CiteBlackWomen

They keep saying the quiet part out loud and still there are “reasonable” colleagues, not to mention the whackos, who will do the whole “wellll” frown thing if you call it a genocide.

This slide and section of the book is based on an exchange Castillo and I had on Twitter. I am one of the "advocates" who called her in bc of how her Brookings article dismissed Afro-Latinos' concerns re antiblack erasure. I have also published extensively on the topic. Guess who was not cited?

Just found the slide where Castillo and Strunk use my motto to summarize someone else's QuantCrit Framework. Guess who is no where to be found in their presentation?

"Numbers are tools not truth" is the motto for my lab. I literally branded it. Yet I am not cited in the book being promoted with my tagline. On a subject I have been published on since 2011. #CitationalJustice is #QuantCrit #EduSky #StatsSky #AcademicSky #Blackademics #CiteBlackWomen

Being reskeeted by Piplup! #AcademicSkyGoals

Good research design requires careful thought and not just checking boxes, but this list can cue such thinking. I noted the authors' recognition of the need to incorporate QuantCrit. Wish that had been done here. See @carltonfong.bsky.social & Irizarry for a good intro: doi.org/10.1016/j.ce...

I am so tired.

I PhinisheD 14 years ago and still have nightmares like this.
