Thinking about: queer epistemologies & pedagogies | whiteness and gender in ed dev | reality dating shows. Post-doc @CTE_UVA, formerly @EmoryWGSS and @Vassar
In what world was a gender studies ban unexpected? ESPECIALLY since some of our best theories and frameworks for analyzing how power works come from the Black feminist and queer scholars working in this field.
As outlined in the release, the bill would ban diversity statements, make tenure and faculty hiring committees meaningless, and centralize control of core curricula and mission statements in the hands of political appointees. Unexpectedly, it would also ban gender studies majors.
The Tragedy of Heterosexuality is a great book, but if you don’t feel like reading, just watch a reality dating show and you’ll get the gist. Also Love is Blind is one of the most disturbing shows ever made.
I would *really* appreciate it if my employer ( the state of Virginia) would stop emailing me offers for Weight Watchers seminars and program discounts. Having a body is hard enough already -_-
If you're trying to make sense of this news out of Florida, check out the articles on menstrual tracking in this special section from @catalyst_sts https://t.co/v9EuATJIp1
Florida female student athletes have to report their menstrual history to play: When they got their first period, when they had their last one, etc. A third party has access to that info, and parents and doctors are raising red flags https://t.co/172JNDanBL @katikokal
@Drfosbrink And in my experience working at a journal, it's also worth noting that tenured faculty often don't follow formatting instructions and face no consequences! Editors just go in and fix it!
@Drfosbrink It's important to make sure they understand why the formatting matters. Is it about genre? accessibility? readability? And if you don't have an answer, it's worth rethinking the requirement.
My students last year were obsessed with the ethics of "queerbaiting. Devastated that I can't get their take on this solid gold tweet. Plz lmk if you bring it to your gender studies class! Does genZ know what a razr is?
September in the world of Virginia public education is making me feel verrrry No Future ™️. Anti-Black hate crimes at @UVA and @GovernorVA & co’s transphobic bill are ongoing evidence that the “innocent children” we care about are the ones least in need of protection.
