Terrific final project presentations by students yesterday in my “Extending the Museum” and “Visual Histories” classes. Very rewarding conclusion of my 30-year teaching career at MIT in @mit_cmsw and @MITLanguages. It’s been an amazing journey, thanks to many incredible students.

Thrilled to share our @HuMetricsHSS report, which draws on 123 interviews & builds on years of collaborative work. In examining current evaluation systems, the report highlights ways to recognize labor, invest in many kinds of scholarly work, & better align practices with values.
