@katebcarp Year 1 my husband was working a crazy job. I was alone with the bean. We were a unit. My department gave me a bassinet for my office. Baby and I worked 7 days a week at 75% speed…taking it slow when we needed to and ignoring the rest of the world. I actually miss those days.

@aliciaandrz Yes! I had a book and a baby (at the same time) then tenure. Hat trick! I did not have a clean house. I had baby barrettes in my hair during faculty meetings.

mothers disproportionately do not get tenure—but I finished the degree with her, I think I can do this 💜

@notbencarter Ella asked for a chunky cheese bday. Daddy mark said “Sure, when you’re 18”. They had a good time eight years later.

@kevinrmcclure I live 2 miles from my office and mostly work at home. Same as precovid. I feel the disconnect more now. Our dept is also uneasy with distance and we’ve started having dinner occasionally. Maybe standing lunch date once a week. Not meetings but community.

I am teaching a class on problems in higher Ed next term. I would love to include real, current issues/discussions for my students to consider. Crowdsourcing here, what topics would YOU include? @AcademicChatter please share

@kevinrmcclure A dean of ours (three or four ago) used to award mugs for service etc. When people started to referring to it as “getting mugged” the tradition faded.

@kevinrmcclure Check the assess@lsv.ky.edu archives.

@LillianRSims @bobbierath Me too…perhaps I warned you?

Because there is so much to love. theguardian.com/music/2020/jan…

@ShabanaMir1 And I think maybe semester.

@j2inky That's a whole year though, right?

Has anyone experienced any excellent and trustworthy travel abroad programs for high school students?

@ShabanaMir1 They have summer programs. A month?

@notbencarter My favorite was young Ella’s analysis of how much faster road repairs would happen on north side lex (less affluent) than in Chevy Chase (more affluent) when Obama won the presidency. Her prediction came true? The day after election the blacktop that had taken months was finished
