Alice Wong taught us that accessibility is a right, not a favor; that disabled people are experts of our own lives; and that community is strength. /4

“Even when research groups do have formal guidelines about who should be a named author, they’re often not discussed until after a manuscript is already in draft, and students may be too hesitant to assert their rights in hierarchical lab cultures.”

"The day the paper was published should have been a moment of pride. Instead, it felt like a quiet erasure." #ScienceWorkingLife https://t.co/EpmK1mgQFS

My newest qualitative research publication highlights the beautiful human (Native and non-Native) and more-than-human relationships (nature and cultural spaces) that sustain Indigenous well-being for college women.

…it’s getting harder to encourage marginalized folks in science & academia when we’re actively shown that we’re not wanted. Programs that supported us for decades are being destroyed. Grants necessary for us to have a fighting chance are terminated.

Its heartbreaking. 💔

I’m not joking.

On Friday, April 25th, I became the first* African American woman to earn tenure & promotion in the Univ. of Vermont’s College of Education & Social Services history.

Naturally, I went home to reflect on my educational past & to think about my future.

✅ Recomendación del libro 📖

“Cómo hacen los pobres para sobrevivir”.

[Gerardo L. Munck @GerardoMunck]

Suelo estudiar grandes estructuras sociales y las élites. Pero cuando busco una perspectiva etnográfica, desde abajo, de la sociedad, recurro a autores como Auyero.

Este nuevo libro de Auyero y Servián te conecta con los pobres urbanos y las estrategias que usan para sobrevivir.

🚨 “The UC on Wednesday announced a systemwide hiring freeze to stave off layoffs and downsizing as it confronts unprecedented threats by the Trump administration to slash medical and science research funding key to its mission as the nation’s premier public university system.”

[Jaweed Kaleem @jaweedkaleem]

Intergenerational social disadvantages & discrimination are common threads that link all populations that experience health disparities.

[Healing the Academy @HealingHigherEd]

Health disparities may be exacerbated by intersecting factors e.g. living in an underserved rural location, living with a disability, or identification with a sexual minority group.

[Giovanni Ramos @El_GioRamos]

Important info about what NIH considers health disparities. This statement was just published on March 13th.
