In light of today’s #studentloanforgiveness news, I am thinking about @DarrickHamilton and the many Black economists and academics who have - for nearly 20 years - made the case and connected student loan debt to wealth inequity and racial and economic justice in the U.S. 1/x

@lopez_wd not sure it's ever come up during our convos but I was in ROTC for a while in high school; coming to college and realizing my rich white classmates at U-M had no concept of the program was incredibly radicalizing

“It’s hard to recruit for the military without nationwide debt among poor folks” isnt the winning slogan you believe it is.

So it's been a while... but figured it was worth thawing this account to make a few changes reflecting my job move 🥰

Really enjoyed my conversation with Dr. Robb Lindgren and James Planey on Social Learning in Augmented and Virtual Reality. Our session was recorded, so if you missed it, please check out the link below! ⬇️ @UMichEducation

Meanwhile, institutions need to ask themselves if the role of schools is to encourage and support teaching/learning or to police teachers and students. And, if the role of schools is not policing, then institutions need to focus on adequately supporting students and teachers.

Start by asking yourself if the role of teachers is to encourage and support student learning or to police student learning. If we can agree the (primary) role of teachers is to encourage and support learning, it becomes much easier to adapt policies, assignments, and assessment.

It's time for #BlackBirdersWeek2021 - a week of online & in-person events starting Sunday 5/30. Check out this listings here: blackafinstem.com/bbw2021schedule

@HeyArtez The "we got emails at home" method? 😂 Also now wishing I could respond to urgent in an email subject line with "do you have urgent response money?"

We should have a week where we all agree to not send new emails and instead we just use that time to think about how we’re going to respond to the old emails from months ago.

It sounds corny, but I earnestly believe in the world we're trying to co-create - a world where we address harm & violence at the root, where we center care & repair over punishment. Where there are no more mournful hashtags, because we've made policing & prisons obsolete.

I'm grateful that those efforts have found at least some purchase, that being publicly identified as an abolitionist hasn't closed the doors I feared it would, and that I find myself alongside a number of fellow travelers is an incalculable blessing.

The grim anniversary of George Floyd's death had me do what I often do when I'm in need of reflection - sit by the water and ask myself if I've done my part. So many things that felt unmovable have shifted after last year's rebellion.

One ring to track them all, One ring to find them One ring to serve them ads And in the data bind them

we were far away from that last year and we remain so today. we got some liberal folks out there rehabilitating 1960s and 1970s era 'crime in the streets' discourse

and i never really took the "we're in a racial reckoning" discourse seriously. i don't think it's 2014 where it seemed like getting body cameras was a big deal, but a reckoning to me presumes there's a willingness to consider an overhaul of racist, carceral institutions...

wild its been a year since the start of the George Floyd rebellion. the outcomes are very much a mixed bag. the idea of defunding the police & abolition took a leap in mainstream discourse, but we're back to centering police (rather than people) in discussions of public safety
