@asdurso So thrilled for you! Best wishes for a very bright future!

@sh_grewal Thank you for being on the podcast; you were an amazing guest! I'll talk about #Tunisia (or #Egypt or militaries) with you any time!

[Sharan Grewal @sh_grewal]

First podcast about the book! (and about #Tunisia more generally). Thanks @DrFloros for having me on The Politics Classroom!

I've been on a social media hiatus, but I wanted to pop in to let everyone know that I'm releasing new episodes of The Politics Classroom every other week this summer, inshallah. First up, a conversation about the #TurkeyElections with @semihpatan: https://t.co/g3kFNMloeY

I spend way too much time in the office, so when I'm home, I tend to read fluff. The last three fluffy books I've read have had me bawling. I'm either too invested in the lives of fictional characters or I'm a sap. Either way, I need to rethink my relaxation strategy.

When the USSR collapsed, the West had so much hope for an integrated, peaceful Russia. What went so wrong, and how did the West actually embolden Putin to become a "serial aggressor"?

US high school students have homeland security programs? Therapists are being trained to report traumatized patients as potential terrorists? These are just two topics discussed this week with @UICCLJ & @UIC_CollegeofEd Nicole Nguyen! https://t.co/qIOvUFCBBU

[Kate Floros, PhD @DrFloros]

Check out the latest episode of The Politics Classroom! To celebrate @uicradio's 23rd birthday, I discuss 1 consequential event per year for the past 23 years. Hanging chads to Dobbs, my panel and I talk about drugs, hurricanes, war, and much more! https://t.co/4aUibSbfkZ

[Kate Floros, PhD @DrFloros]

Enjoyed my @uicradio podcast conversation with #Chicago mayoral candidate @JaymalGreen about his platform for the city. #ElectionDay is Feb. 28!

Sad piece of information from today's @thisisUIC police log: A person with no UIC affiliation fell asleep inside a UIC dumpster.

I really hope they helped find a safe place to stay and something to eat. Our society needs to do better.

[Kate Floros, PhD @DrFloros]

Also, check out The Bookshelf for more information about the topics discussed in the episode! https://t.co/6s9K6HkrRc

I learned so much from my @uicradio interview with @marglouisefink of the Disability Cultural Center @thisisUIC. We only scratched the surface, but I feel much more informed about #accessibility issues, appropriate language, and more! https://t.co/ltv5A2CdEL

My @uicradio interview with @UICUF staff and president about prepping for and carrying out the recent strike @thisisUIC. #solidarity
https://t.co/4IdgguOvKP

[AFT @AFTunion]

It shouldn’t take a strike to get what students need. #solidarity with @uicuf as they fight for the resources students & faculty need to thrive. #FairContractNow

[Kate Floros, PhD @DrFloros]

My interview this afternoon on @WBEZreset about the @UICUF #strike! We want fair, equitable pay; job security for NTT faculty, and free diagnostic testing for @thisisUIC students.

We've been in contract talks for over nine months. Let's get this done!
