“Rather than choose this subpar life in a country that has erected systemic blockades to prevent immigrants from succeeding in their professions, we decided to leave. I respect myself too much to stay.”

The idea of letting the students "talk back" to the professor comes from the principles of feminist pedagogy, and working to chip away at the unequal power dynamic inherent to university classrooms. 🧵tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.108…

So, after explaining why I was doing this, I opened the conversation to the class. I let them share: a) The types of questions they hated; b) General reactions c) The things they wish we had done prior to the exam to help them study. I listened as the students opened up. 🧵

Why would I do something that opens me, a young female professor, up to the unfiltered commentary of an enormous class of angry students? Because fostering a safe and mutually respectful environment in which students feel heard & valued is essential to my teaching philosophy.🧵

I did something very scary today. Last week, I gave an exam that I felt was pretty straightforward. However, my students were very upset, as they felt that it was too difficult. I cancelled today's lecture and let the 220 students share their feelings in class. 🧵

This. Seeing overlays trending for virtual conference, event, and other short-term websites as an ‘accessibility solution’ & that ain’t it.

@PsycheReady @_KathleenClarke has completed research on this & would be a fantastic panelist.

Do I know anyone, or can anyone recommend, someone who I could invite to speak (online) at a panel for Grad Students with Disabilities? The topic is something like "navigating academia with a disability." #AcademicTwitter #AcademicChatter
