I am so honored to have received the Sociology of Health and Illness book prize! I’m so grateful that a book that came out on the eve of the 1st pandemic lockdowns, still managed to find its readers. Thank you BSA and FSHI! @UWbioethics @pauldimaggio @CareworkN @CUP @socwomen

I haven't been on here for a bit. So I log on and read this. We cannot catch a break in this timeline. I'm going to start looking for a portal to another one.

Just found out that Taylor & Francis has sold access to all @routledgebooks data to Microsoft to train their AI. This includes my publications. I get no payment for using my research labour, never mind the bigger problems of this energy-intensive extractivism...

@rhacel Congratulations! Fantastic!

I don't know anything about this organization. But I do recognize this behavior...

Weeks after staffers wrote an anonymous post detailing anti-Blackness in the org, @AllAboveAll announced a "restructuring" today. Here's the official press release, but every staffer has been laid off who's not on the executive team or a fellow. https://t.co/qayjYs7Ocu

This speaker changed the way I think about carework. Those of us centered in perspectives from the Global North can learn so much from listening from those in other locations.

[LaTonya Trotter @phdlt]

I am here. And it is fabulous!

[LaTonya Trotter @phdlt]

@KellyUnderman No one is more deserving, Kelly. Congratulations!

[LaTonya Trotter @phdlt]

@christen_rexing I hate LMS's. But their one redeeming quality is being able to "close" assignments. Want to turn something in week/months late? Nope. You literally cannot. You have to actually talk to me. Students engage in wishful thinking sometimes. LMS's make them face reality.

[LaTonya Trotter @phdlt]

@KellyUnderman Probably not. Although the topic was different than my book. But if they had any familiarity with my work, perhaps they might not have been so fearful. But apparently, big-wig fancy people don't do their homework before sending invitations like us regular folks.

[LaTonya Trotter @phdlt]

Am I a radical now? I was officially disinvited from a speaker’s series affiliated with an elite medical school. Because apparently, focusing on the role of the workplace to understand the trauma experienced by health care workers was “not appropriate” for their series. A 🧵

[LaTonya Trotter @phdlt]

@JosephHarrisBU Thanks. It was bizarre. The entire experience. The low-key attempt at censorship, the desire to protect well-educated adults from ideas. But I'm fine. I just worry about the clinicians working and learning in that environment.

@pallavib Its a bit wild, isn't it?
