Watching @BLoveSoulPower speak the now as the afterlife of slavery and the afterlife of Brown 🤯

[holland white @hollandlove]

@laurafittz literally supporting students’ voices to be heard during her #vandyphdday presentation is just 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[Nicollette Mitchell @NicolletteDM]

And research about language teachers from @rachel_siegman in her talk “Teacher Sensemaking of Translanguaging Curricular Tools: Pursuing Culturally Sustaining Practices & Instruction for Plurilingual Learners”. We got to see how students represent their experiences #VandyPhDDay

[Nicollette Mitchell @NicolletteDM]

I’m enjoying the way @laurafittz disrupts the language of “participants” and position youth of color as experts whose voices can be amplified through research.

[Nicollette Mitchell @NicolletteDM]

@laurafittz sharing work about centering and amplifying nationalized youth voices in “Holding Up the Mic: What youth say they need in order to talk about topics affecting their lives”. We actually got to hear the girls of color’s voices during this presentation 🤯 #vandyPhDday

[Nicollette Mitchell @NicolletteDM]

There are some really powerful conclusions that can be made about the process of decentering dominant discourse through embodied perspective taking and how it facilitated moving from individualist to collective cooperation for sustainability with @TessalyJ’s presentation

[Nicollette Mitchell @NicolletteDM]

And, @TessalyJ ‘s work designing mixed reality learning experiences toward emotional sustainability through her talk entitled “Designing for feelings: Disruptive beginnings in co-design of mixed “reality activities for sustainability #VandyPhDDay

What leads to diversity in CS when it’s used a major part of putting the “STEM” into STEAM for diversity initiatives? A question I’m left pondering after @RelationshipGAP’s question at @_CandiceLove’s wonderful presentation. #VandyPhDDay

[Nicollette Mitchell @NicolletteDM]

Now we are learning from @_CandiceLove. They really bring home how culture is reflected in STEM disciplinary norms and what that means for student learning. Their presentation is entitled “Examining Epistemic Diversity as Design” #VandyPhDDay

[Nicollette Mitchell @NicolletteDM]

Watching @LiziMetts’s presentation “COVID changed everything”: Exploring Experienced Math Teachers’ Agency in the COVID-19 Pandemic.
Insightful work about how teachers navigated the space between teaching in the before times & during COVID from May 2020 to June 2021 #VandyPhDday

[Nicollette Mitchell @NicolletteDM]

It’s #VandyPhDday and I’m about to watch the third year students present their work!

Kicking off my Monday and the first day of August with @RaceResearch for #2022Jumpstart virtual conference!! Cheers to the center and all who support this work ☺️ @DenaLaneBonds @MilnerHRich @Iramurray #Ashley @vupeabody #Jumpstart2022

[Nicollette Mitchell @NicolletteDM]

At @cheryl_phd’s keynote lecture for #jumpstart2022 entitled “The Dangers of White Emotionalities: National Hysteria and Hullabaloo in CRT, teaching and Racial Justice”. Her book titles “Surviving Becky(s)” and “Feeling White” have me so intrigued and excited to read more

[Nicollette Mitchell @NicolletteDM]

How do you stay whole while doing this work? @GholdyM “I rest, I rest, I rest.” And “name Joy every day”

[Nicollette Mitchell @NicolletteDM]

@GholdyM in response to deficit construction of Black students learning “imagine if we said that our pedagogy was only 20% effective”
This was so simple yet profound to hear in the context of academic discourse what a breath of fresh air

[Nicollette Mitchell @NicolletteDM]

I’m at @RaceResearch’s opening keynote lecture with @GholdyM! Listening to her talk about our “standards” and moving away from basic and raggedy (thank you Dr. Muhammad for speaking it plainly) curriculum has been so inspiring.

[Nicollette Mitchell @NicolletteDM]

So excited to be a convener for the workshop sessions during today’s Jumpstart Virtual conference with @RaceResearch — @MilnerHRich wanted us to take a selfie so here’s mine 🎉🎉🎉
Looking forward to impactful conversations about racial Justice in higher education

[Nicollette Mitchell @NicolletteDM]

@RuthSevereWx Thanks for keeping us updated. How are Smyrna and La Vergne?
