@mfrmarcel This is such generative and useful research, Marcel. And what a generous, thoughtful, & honest response to criticism. Even in the cesspool that is #thisplace, you are graciously modeling genuine scholarly engagement.

@askellyphd This work is sometimes the only thing keeping me from sliding into (professional/academic/political) despair. Glad it can do the same for others!

FYI: the episode where I am featured is based on my 2023 Health Affairs article, which we discuss on the podcast: https://t.co/ACwHM4rNGS

Need an antidote to the hopelessness of American political life? Listen to an episode of In Solidarity. In the episode where I’m featured, we talk tenant organizing, health, & what it looks like to catalyze change by building power from the ground up. It’s worth a listen💯

Excited this is out! My piece is about grassroots power, a critical but understudied facet of the Medicaid policy landscape. I explore the role of grassroots actors in the health policy ecosystem, drawing our attention to the promise & pathways for building power for health.

Receiving an award is lovely, but awkward. Having someone talk about you in front of a room full of colleagues will never not be weird to me. Nevertheless, I am grateful that @CharleyWillison was the one to do it. I was honored by the genuinely kind words she shared tonight.

[Harold Pollack @haroldpollack]

So honored to share this public engagement award with @povertyscholar. Even nicer to receive this award from my friend @sarahgollust, who held back on the zingers suggested by @EGolberstein

[Jamila Michener @povertyscholar]

@haroldpollack @sarahgollust @EGolberstein Ditto! Super honored.

[Jamila Michener @povertyscholar]

Great @APSAtweets panel on @DomingoMorel’s new book, Developing Scholars. Insightful conversation on the importance of political organizing in advancing educational equity & the disproportionate labor that marginalized communities expend struggling for racial & economic justice.

[Domingo Morel @DomingoMorel]

Many thanks to @KimberleyNYC @povertyscholar @sally_nuamah and @DeondraRose for their wonderful comments and thoughtful conversation about my book Developing Scholars @APSAtweets

As I’ve studied tenant unions for the last 4 years, I’ve gotten my fair share of blank stares from other scholars who wonder about the value of the work. This @tressiemcphd piece captures some of my reasons for devoting energy to building knowledge about & for tenant organizing👇🏾
