I am extremely excited/terrified to share my first publication! The study, entitled "Representation, Race and Empire: a Postcolonial Analysis of the New York Global History Regents exam" investigates the role of testing in perpetuating colonialism and epistemological erasure🧵

It was incredible to celebrate the victory of a decades-long fight to have AAPI curriculum in our schools.

I was proud to stand with my @NYCCouncil colleagues, community activists, & scholars today to announce the $2.5M in funding for AAPI history in our public schools.

[Sandra Ung 黄敏仪 @CMSandraUng]

I joined my colleagues and advocates on the steps of City Hall today to celebrate $2.5M in funding to support and expand AAPI history curriculum in public schools, a first for NYC’s budget! Asian American history is so often overlooked, this investment is a chance to change that!

NEW: The pace of student visa revocations this week is staggering. Upwards of 200 have been reported—but the total is likely much higher.

I talked to college officials reluctant to report dozens of visa terminations, anxious to avoid federal scrutiny.

ICE came to be in my lifetime and that is why I am certain it can be abolished in my lifetime ❤️‍🔥 a better world is always always always possible

[Student Workers of Columbia @SW_Columbia]

We are constantly told to put marginalized perspectives into our syllabuses, no matter the discipline. Clearly, @Columbia considers Palestinian perspectives to be an exception. As always, we stand with our workers and will fight against this egregious breach of academic freedom.

Please please check this piece out! More than anything, I hope the conclusion helps fellow educators in navigating how to resist structures of colonialism and racism within our classrooms, by co-creating with the young people we serve. https://t.co/Og381D9pHF

TLDR: the exam is eurocentric, both quantitatively and qualitatively. But, as I write in the conclusion, we dont need a more inclusive exam. We need schools where exams don't dictate curriculum, and where history classrooms are spaces of exploration, storytelling, and complexity.

“I saw Emmett Till this week at the grocery store” by Eve L. Ewing

One of my favorite poems written by one of my favorite poets. What if Emmett Till grew up to be an older man, mundanely shopping for groceries? https://t.co/gEab9aJbvM

Curriculum has always served as a site of colonial violence, and continues to be a tool of empire.

Grateful to @ShreyaSunderram for founding the Bold Conf in 2018, and to my colleagues and team for keeping the legacy alive with a spectacular day of sessions on teaching and learning with students, faculty and staff. As Shreya urged us: time to put what we learned into action.

[Shreya Sunderram @ShreyaSunderram]

Shoutout @cep_barnard!!! Thank you for having me and continuing this vital work!

[Shreya Sunderram @ShreyaSunderram]

Five years ago I founded the @BarnardCollege Bold conference, a day of dialogue between students and staff on inclusion and equity in higher Ed. I was invited back for the fifth conference as the keynote speaker to discuss its legacy and how I define inclusive pedagogy today; 🧵

[Shreya Sunderram @ShreyaSunderram]

Most rewarding about today was that I was able to bring some of my high schoolers with me to share in the conversation! Young people must and should be apart of these conversations, in all spaces discussing reforms and radical imaginings of education (4/4).
