#Blessed to soak in the wisdom of @GholdyM today at the #SELinAction conference! Feeling galvanized to push through the hurt-pain-harm of academia, advocating for caring curriculum that cultivates the genius and joy of our multilingual learners. @NovoFoundation @ed1stconsulting

Beacons in the miasma that is #academia. Wish me luck as I make sense of these hinterlands while continuing to find the becoming-questions that make new meaning. @ecobruja @TWTMazzei @Ethicsofcare @routledgebooks @UMinnPress #mattersofcare #thinkingwiththeory #AcademicChatter

@kevinwongLA We long for the people, places, and practices that we continue to relate to and yet remain at a distance. In continuing to forge these relationships, we find new ways to be-long. ❤️✈️🦋

A beautifully-done issue on #education from @laphamsquart. The preamble by @paultough is a galvanizing and gorgeous 9-page inquiry into the what, how, and whom — generative living questions that elucidate how education is an innately political act.

[Nico Chen @pathsofreverie]

Charted this in Google Ngram and trying to make sense of it. Would love to hear your thoughts about how we might interpret this moment in history. @ofelia_otheguy @professorliwei1 @ClaireSylvan @nelsonlflores @DrJonathanRosa @kate_anna @LesleyBartlett_ @monishabajaj @MikeMenaNYC

@kongji_qin @meganbang3 As for land acknowledgments from non-indigenous scholars, I found that this one from Amy Stuart Well's 2019 presidential address to be especially powerful (starting at 44:45): https://t.co/YDJWdYMSdA

@kongji_qin I love @meganbang3's land acknowledgment in the beginning of this talk (starting at 2:40): https://t.co/7us6b3P1KC
