Design Temples from @DrSmarturo—a 🔥 framework for supporting speculative dreaming
"Prototyping new social futures involves hacking artifacts that can time travel." Goal is to provide future communities with blue prints for engaging injustice & creating more just worlds. #NSTA23
Quoting @ruha9, @DrSmarturo describes how #HackingSystems offers possibilities for embedding NEW VALUES & NEW SOCIAL RELATIONS into existing structures—esp as they reproduce historical oppressive forms. #NSTA23

As #pridemonth comes to a close, we wanted to highlight last weekend's festivities in Denver, but not without acknowledging recent events & grounding this celebration of diversity & self-fulfillment with a statement of our continued commitment to supporting LGBTQ+ individuals.
“Sometimes people forget that education is a treaty right, just like fishing, hunting & gathering,” Dr. Bill said, “…right now, it's really a great time that we're able to reclaim our education & honor our ancestors & all the Native educational warriors.” https://t.co/Sj3HbnJdNJ
I've worked with some of these brilliant youth through my lab's collab with Arturo's LiTT Lab. I'm floored by how passionate and compassionate they are. So happy to have been there to celebrate them yesterday. Also, @bella_pos021 will be joining @cumediastudies in the fall!
