Genuinely insane to believe that New York or San Francisco are dangerous cities.

I spoke with @heymrsbond about the reasoning behind her choice to ban AI-use in her HS English classes this year. "My job is to help kids develop foundational skills. Using AI at this point in time is not a foundational skill." Read more @edutopia https://t.co/gFcGntvt8V

Did you hear today is James Baldwin's 100th birthday? Do you feel like you should have read him by now?

We have a chart for that!

AND we made a James Baldwin page browsable by genre (since he was a genre-defying genius): https://t.co/4CfEr8YsIX

@heymrsbond @USFCA_SOE Saw your reply above about a secondary literacy interest. USF has a language & culture concentration in the program I'm in, as well as a Learning & Instruction EdD that has some great folks in it too! LMK if you have any questions! :)

@heymrsbond Big fan of @USFCA_SOE where I'm finishing up my EdD in Human Rights Education (though they also have an amazing Racial Justice program). Cannot say enough nice things!

[David Tow @dandrewt]

@lingerie_addict Same! I'm in the final stretch of a doctoral degree in education (I'd like to eventually teach future teachers). The years I had working and grinding away to find out who I was are integral to how I show up as a 42-year-old scholar.

Our new paper study sought to understand how high achieving Black girls make meaning of their identities in high school and which experiences were formative in shaping their success!

Norway has one of the lowest crash death rates in the world, w/fatalities dropping ~50% in the last decade.

In Oslo, I asked a senior Norwegian transportation official what role car tech has played enhancing safety.

Her answer: "None. We focus on road design and enforcement."

The salary of a PhD student in many European countries is now higher than the typical starting salary of a UK lecturer, with a postdoc in Europe often surpassing a UK lecturer salary. Meanwhile, some top UK depts now require a published monograph for entry-level positions (1/2)

🎉✨Congratulations to our International & Multicultural Education EdD alumna, Dr. Mi'Jan Celie Tho-Biaz, on receiving the prestigious Fulbright Specialist Award! They will be embarking on an exciting project in Guayaquil, Ecuador.

Hey, if you're mad the Supreme Court ruled against helping Natives get access to clean water, you can donate to the Navajo Water Project.

1 in 3 people on the Navajo Nation don't have access to clean water. This organization helps bring water to them.

Um, hey @britishmuseum, it's come to my attention that your exhibit "China's hidden century" uses my translations of Qiu Jin's poetry, but you never contacted me for permission. Please note this is a copyright infringement! How are you going to fix this?? #NameTheTranslator
