Sidhu Moose Wala (1993-2022)
Rest in peace to our friend and legend.
Remembering this legend with a tee available now, here: https://t.co/EPM8wgESiY
We are working with Sidhu’s family to dedicate proceeds from this drop in his honor.
Make institutions put more skin in the game.
"Schools don’t gain much when students succeed, and they remain too insulated when debt-loaded students fail...Students and their colleges should have a shared, long-term interest in students’ success." https://t.co/XwGNPggi5P
@ReasonedWriting@RobertTalbert@TheAtlantic@saragoldrickrab's done a ton of great work advocating for student debt cancellation. She believes that the stress and strain of taking on debt not only impacts past borrowers (especially middle class POC), but current students while they're in class trying to focus on learning.
Faculty identity can be a barrier or a gateway to meaningful student engagement: "The majority [of students] sought out an instructor from an equity-deserving community (e.g. women, racialized groups, LGBTQ, people with disabilities)." - @shoshanahjacobs https://t.co/QJNwQ0wHMy

I wrote a piece for @RollingStone about the shocking murder of Sidhu Moose Wala, one of the most exciting musicians to emerge from India in a generation, and the political chaos it has unleashed.

@MaryamShahLive 100% agree. I feel like I'm infantilized in my interactions with certain white leaders. And when I do try to assert myself I'm read as angry and told not to take things so personally.
Today, April 13,2022 I am no longer using the term “imposter syndrome”. Last night Dr.@atachine informed me this concept was developed by two white women to explain why minoritized folks feel like outsiders or face self-doubt
Renate Reinsve won the Best Actress prize at Cannes for the revelatory performance that anchors the sprawlingly novelistic THE WORST PERSON IN THE WORLD (2021) by Norwegian auteur Joachim Trier, an emotionally intricate & exhilarating character study of a woman entering her 30s.
"In urging faculty to adopt #inclusiveteaching practices, we need to start asking if they actually can — and at what cost."
@ThomasJTobin + @empower2teach on how to balance inclusion for learners with instructor presence, authority, and identities. https://t.co/7f6Dwr7Veo
“I saw our racialized students suffering quite a bit in the learning spaces and academic environments,” she said, listing microaggressions, mental health, financial challenges and OSAP cuts as some issues that were weighing on students. #HigherEd https://t.co/WLge8XCoU5
#Highered cannot leave "unexamined and unaltered teaching practices and grading models that serve the false idols of rigor and gatekeeping at the expense of our students’ welfare." @joshua_r_eyler for @insidehighered. https://t.co/RVxCAjzikC
Guys, I have a very serious announcement. There is a “R” in tuRmeric. It’s pronounced tur-mer-ic, not too-mer-ic. I cannot for the love of God hear one more person co-opting ayurveda and wellness say too-mer-ic.
I liked this conversation with @seanilling at Vox. Genuine but unsuspicious pushback -- that's what it should be all about.
