Just arrived from @avidreader4101! Can't wait to read @EmmaShortis's excellent analysis on the Australian-US alliance in her new book!

@DonaldClark @RobertASzabo @ryandal Some of our Elec. Eng staff at Monash Uni started using Discord for their online labs last year when all classes went online. The idea came from students. Here's a short video about it: https://t.co/BavqQ2c0fB

[Emma Shortis @EmmaShortis]

Thrilled to finally share this news!

[Richard Young @RichardyHistory]

@Scott_Thought @Researcher_Kate I can relate

[Emma Shortis @EmmaShortis]

We’re back! In this special inauguration episode of Barely Gettin’ By, @DrChlod and I discuss what tomorrow will look like, what we might expect from a Biden administration, and where next for Australia-US relations. https://t.co/Dq1UgWOHS6

[ABC The Drum @ABCthedrum]

#ICYMI: The US is a country divided - but what would unity mean for different groups, if Biden becomes president?

"It shows how much of American politics is oriented towards whiteness, white people and white people's grievances." @EmmaShortis #TheDrum

[Richard Young @RichardyHistory]

@book_learning @9NewsMelb @EmmaShortis @RMIT @DrChlod Fantastic analysis as always Emma! And totally agree with Lauren about the Insiders gig. You'll just have to decide what Dolly Parton song you and Chloe want for the opening credits

[Emma Shortis @EmmaShortis]

Here’s me and ⁦@DrChlod⁩ in the ⁦@smh⁩, on the long crisis of American democracy. https://t.co/xR7zSSaoYK

"...the report confirmed that teaching more girls and women Stem skills and increasing the number of female graduates was not enough to solve the problem...Future Stem strategies must focus on improving the participation and retention of women at the workplace level"

[Emma Shortis @EmmaShortis]

Back at it with my co-brain @DrChlod. In this season of Barely Gettin’ By, we’re going beyond the overwhelming news cycle to understand the US election. As well as the pod, we’ve got a weekly newsletter and video explainers like this one (with music by Stuart Cullen).

[Emma Shortis @EmmaShortis]

I was very lucky to be invited onto ABC's The Minefield with Waleed Aly and Scott Stephens this week. We discussed Joe Biden, empathy, and the nature of political leadership. https://t.co/qkUDlWeUqw

[The Conversation - Australia + New Zealand @ConversationEDU]

A recent NAPLAN review noted the test has led to formulaic writing among students.

@LucindaMcKnigh8 @Deakin explains all the ways this is true. https://t.co/3ptXeE7QZ0

[Richard Young @RichardyHistory]

@EmmaShortis Interesting analysis. The politics of grief vs the the politics of grievance analogy is great.

[Richard Young @RichardyHistory]

Even if Trump loses the election (and leaves willingly), it's going to take ages to remove all the cronies he's installed in the fed govt. Doing so too could create a precedent for even greater partisanship in the fed govt that means less continuity between administrations

[Emma Shortis @EmmaShortis]

Maybe don’t base your geopolitical analysis on Tomorrow, When the War Began, is all I’m saying

[Emma Shortis @EmmaShortis]

I can’t stop thinking about this.

[Elizabeth O’Brien Ingleson @lizingleson]

This! The current narrative from many w/in the China policy community rewrites the history of engagement, claiming it was motivated by encouraging democratisation. It's being made in order to justify the policy of "strategic competition" that Bush 43 pursued until 9/11 /1

Did you tweet about the recent anti-vaccination protests that drew hundreds of people to capital city protests? Did you frame them as an affront to the memory of the Anzacs?
