I'm excited to present "Masculinities are Plural" at Deeper Learning 2017! https://t.co/evAPzWLecC @hthgse #deeperlearning

[R. Spencer Atkinson @rsatkinson]

Thank you @angelace for your humble, vulnerable power. All of us can learn from you modeling self-care and self-love. #stanfordsaconference

@lindseypollak Kitwana's book: https://t.co/YblbIecNu2. And then the response from MK Asante: https://t.co/pbB3zFLwfu

[R. Spencer Atkinson @rsatkinson]

@lindseypollak Bakari Kitwana says how we see Gen X is white ppl. For POC he says Hip Hop Gen. What about milennials? #stanfordsaconference

[R. Spencer Atkinson @rsatkinson]

Are our ideas of millennials based in class assumptions? "Growing up with unlimited choices" -- not all young ppl! #stanfordsaconference

[R. Spencer Atkinson @rsatkinson]

Generational changes experienced by millennials. Either older generations get on board with these, or get left behind #stanfordsaconference

[Iyad Uakoub @Iyadsy]

Stop shaming this generation #stanfordsaconference

[R. Spencer Atkinson @rsatkinson]

We've been shaming young people for basically all of human history. #stopshamingmillenials #stanfordsaconference #StudentAffairs

Stanford Student Affairs Conference 2017 -- the room is set, let the party begin! #stanfordsaconference

[R. Spencer Atkinson @rsatkinson]

@timjacobwise: there are lots of black & brown folks saying the same things I am, but we live in a society that values my voice more #AFAAM

[R. Spencer Atkinson @rsatkinson]

@SWCSpeaks YES, totally agree. And that's a whole other thing we need to work on: waiting for other folks to say the 'authentic' thing.

[R. Spencer Atkinson @rsatkinson]

@timjacobwise: To say having a black friend means you can't be racist is like saying I date women so I can't be sexist. #AFAAM

[R. Spencer Atkinson @rsatkinson]

Folks at #AFAAM: our students of color, trans* students, differently abled students are already saying everything @timjacobwise is saying.

[R. Spencer Atkinson @rsatkinson]

I agree w/all @timjacobwise is saying here, but I'm shocked how revelatory the #AFAAM audience seems to think it is. #ItsOnUs to do our HW!

[R. Spencer Atkinson @rsatkinson]

Yesss! Privilege is a learning disability. https://t.co/FgiXu8mBhr

#AFAAM closing session with @timjacobwise - interested to see his take on fraternity and sorority life.
