I was honoured to bring classes to Mrs Carter @TheCarterCenter through her association with our department @emory_wgss. Students appreciated the opportunity to learn about her work with the Equal Rights Amendment and her promotion of mental health care. RIP. @EmoryUniversity
The @NCBSOnline has honored @EmoryAAS with its 2023 Sankore Institutional Award for outstanding contributions to the development of the Africana/Black studies discipline.
The department won for its creation of the Ph.D. program, the first in the Southeast, launching next fall.

Deleted last tweet bc name of colleague wasn’t fully anonymized(not that the deserve that protection): But whatevs.
An everyday interaction with colleagues at Emory. This is the quality of my professional environment: A PSA about my grammatical sins: I kid you not:
@milo_phd I lived and taught there for a year before sprinting to my gig at @hampshirecolg. My late spouse taught there for 15 years. Small town is as small town does. Two Brothers was a fave in a place with few options.
Re last tweet: It is not about a single person. Their attitude is a tiny part of a pervasive culture of aggression & academic colonialism that Black & brown faculty must encounter daily.
We are fighting for the most precarious among us--PTLs, grad workers, and our students. Our demands go beyond salary. They are about making Rutgers a model university that is equitable for all of our community including the cities where we live and work.
