I completely agree. Class is largely ignored in DEI efforts, when making it a central focus would enrich not only working class students but also academia as a whole.

This resonates, even in social science. Many academics become visibly uncomfortable when I share that my parents are blue-collar workers or that I support them financially. Few ever ask what that's like or how I ended up where I am.

[Karen (pronounced Kah-ren) @pagingkaren]

this whole "should a prof be allowed to ask you to come to office hours to defend your ai flagged work" debate just highlights how a sizable portion of students think their tuition pays for their diploma and not the opportunity to get an education at that institution

if someone ran a marathon and someone else drove 26 miles i wouldnt congratulate the driver just because he ended up at the destination

I'm excited to be Chair this year! We are an interdisciplinary conference, across the social sciences, arts, languages, and beyond. We are also an international conference, hosting scholars from many different countries. Please get in touch if you have any Qs.

@weiss_hadas one of my students cited you yday

[Sally Bonsall @SalBonsall]

@Sistek It was great to meet you!

[Sally Bonsall @SalBonsall]

En route to MPSA 🚂 tomorrow, I’ll be presenting on the legacies of dictatorship in Spain and Argentina, and their effects on the contemporary far-right. Hope to see many of you in Chicago soon!

[Sally Bonsall @SalBonsall]

@thatdrwillis @ODU congratulations, Charmaine! I'm so happy for you, so well deserved.

@harrydobson1917 Their "solution" is for us to all be CEOs whilst the invisible magic fairies beneath us actually do all the work. If only 😂

[Sally Bonsall @SalBonsall]

@apptimeleft hello, please can you refund me for the cancelation for the planned dinner tomorrow? There is going to be a blizzard / weather warning here (Omaha) and it would be dangerous to make my way there

[Rotimi Adeoye @_rotimia]

I refuse to accept that America cannot have this.

[Sally Bonsall @SalBonsall]

Just arrived in Alexandria for APSA’s Teaching and Learning Conference. Safe travels to everyone — hope the weather related delays aren’t too bad — and see you soon!

[Sally Bonsall @SalBonsall]

Thanks to the APSA Teaching Comparative Politics symposium in DC last summer, I developed a resource for using literature (Shakespeare) to teach populism, just published here today on APSA Educate’s website: https://t.co/dsPF2R5Tf4

[Sally Bonsall @SalBonsall]

@harrydobson1917 Yup, pretty sure most homeless people would be more concerned with their material conditions than a slight nuance in language (which tbh I don’t accept anyway, “homeless” doesn’t come with a value judgment for me, it’s not that deep).

[Moniza Hossain @moniza_hossain]

There are grown adults who think it’s nonsense to analyse sensory imagery in literature, a basic thing taught in middle school. These people passively consume fiction without understand the mechanics of how and why it works, which makes them the perfect targets for propaganda

[Sally Bonsall @SalBonsall]

@weiss_hadas Your tweets never miss

[Adam Singer @AdamSinger]

"how could this have happened," we cried from our vacation home while our kids were barely affording groceries

[Arthur Spirling @arthur_spirling]

And dare I say as a DGS that, today, the world needs political science and statistics and history as much as it ever did. More than ever. It needs YOU, the early career scholars. Let’s go.

@NotAmira_ As a Brit living in Nebraska, no way they’d be Lib Dem. Also Idaho would be Reform, maybe Nevada and Florida too.

[Sally Bonsall @SalBonsall]

@ACarpenDigital that’s wild! Ofc I disagree with the reactionary right but I think we have to carefully understand the broader structures that created these problems, much of which the center and “center-left” helped foster.

[Sally Bonsall @SalBonsall]

Everyone seems mad at this woman but part of me understands her. What she says is not necessarily anti feminist — it is decades of neoliberalism that made a dual-income household necessary for most people. And women often get a shitty, exhausting deal.
