Eval advice: 1) look over the lang ur dept/campus eval uses: build it into your class vocab; do this 2) do ur own evals mid way—ask what prof/class/*they* cld do better, what’s going well. 3) *remind* them to write about what they *love* in final evals. #WomenInSTEM #trynagrad

Some of the best advice I got in graduate school: “Watch out for Black people who like being the only Black person in the room.”

Black scholars gave me a framework to understand and love myself, but I have grown to recognize that not every part of my existence needs theorizing. Some things are important because they can’t adequately be captured, they just are.

When your advisor decides to read your draft out loud to you and you know it was trash

[David. @daviddupreejr]

Having assignments due during and the day after a break is antiblack. The university is closed and so am I

[Dr. Justin Zimmerman @JZPhilosophy]

I get so happy when Black folks announce they have a professorship. Ya’ll keep charging the gate. #phdlife
