@jelaniwrites I want to see these baby photos too! Lbs.

Not always gratifying, but when it is and you can see the wheels turning and students feeling changed by your lecture or their knowledge gained in the course, it makes it worth all the stress that comes along with raising adult children lmao.

One of the biggest Professor flexes, because let's be real there are not many, is a student (yes they're Black) saying "your class made me want to declare a major/minor and it changed my trajectory." Work in industry can often feel thankless, but being a pedagogue is gratifying!

Especially proud of this Racial Capitalism seminar. Let me know if you'd like to see the syllabus. Here's the course description (4 parts total):

[Aliyah Turner 🤓 @roundthewaysoc]

@its_Serrano Thanks friend 💕

[Aliyah Turner 🤓 @roundthewaysoc]

PT. 4 ,especially for society's most marginalized populations. This course is a new elective for the sociology major, counts toward the social science (SS) and power, privilege, and diversity (PPD) requirements, and is cross-listed in the AFST department.

[Aliyah Turner 🤓 @roundthewaysoc]

PT. 3 systemic and systematic relations and (re)productions of gross inequality both locally and abroad. The relationship between capitalism and racialization is not one that can be understood independently, but as a merger; two world systems colliding to ignite a divided reality

[Aliyah Turner 🤓 @roundthewaysoc]

The book, Spatializing Blackness: Architectures of Confinement and Black Masculinity in Chicago, is a meditation on the role of prisons, surveillance technology, & histories of punishment on race-and-gender-making for Black men living under urban economies of regulation & control

Fall semester of my 2nd year on the TT @DePauwU starts tomorrow and I'm slated to teach a section of our Contemporary Society (Intro to Soc), Racial Capitalism (new elective), Social Theory (req for the major), and a @DePauwPrindle course on Rashad Shabazz's (2015) book! <3

@pansas18 My grandma used to say being closer to God is scary because he's giving you vision to see as s/he does (they do); what you do with that newfound sight is everything. Religious or not, it tracks.

TT/Tenured professors do not lose anything by adding undergraduate and grad students to papers that they helped with (organizing, lit search, data collection). I do not understand this reluctance to give authorship.

Wait, my lil book review was placed in this issue. This is dope 🔥

[Aliyah Turner 🤓 @roundthewaysoc]

@AnnOwens_ It's okay to not know the answer to a complex - or dare I say, unhelpful - question (because we often get unhelpful commentary masked as question). It's acceptable to say, "Really interesting point. I haven't thought about or explored that, but I will and get back with you."
