Morehouse students grill their President on having Biden @ graduation "There's a possibility of a genocide happening & we're seeing our government continually sending more & more weapons." "We the students telling you we see it as 'that's being complicit!'"

This guy is a more effective communicator than 95% of left-wing electeds. Connecting the moral purpose of Palestine solidarity protests with his values as a father 🫡

For no reason, no reason at all, I am sharing my guiding quote about how I approach being a professor, from Prof. Toni Morrison

The claims that universities are acting due to supposed antisemitism of students is blatantly false. When literal neo-Nazis with no campus affiliation came to UNC, we were told that they had the right to protest. Now that students protest war and genocide? “Public safety threat”

NYU faculty creating a ring around the Gaza solidarity encampment to protect their students after the school threatened mass arrest. So beautiful.

@alsmith_01 @UNC_Press @dawnd Congratulations 🎊 👏🏾

I’m extremely happy to share that I signed a contract for my first book tentatively titled, (Un)Schooling Black Girls: Navigating Suburbia, Anti-Black-Girl Violence, and Mechanisms of School Survival with @UNC_Press & I get to work with the incredible @dawnd ! #BlackGirlhood

If you are interested in reading my award winning research, the article will be open access for three months!

Going to AERA??? Come check out our session. See you all in Chicago.

@eli_kean @AERA_EdResearch That's ridiculous! These conference registration fees are extremely expensive.

@LoveJones_6 Lol, I was also disappointed with the discussion on colorism. It was two minutes long, and there was still so much deflection. I like your research questions. I've taught lessons about colorism in a community based educational space with girls of color but not K-12 history.

As a Real Housewives scholar, I’m always thinking about ways to infuse RH into my “academic” work. 😂 As a 👩🏾 I am especially disappointed by #RHOP and their irresponsible discussion on colorism. But I do wonder, how, if, do history teachers discuss colorism in their classrooms?

BIPOC researchers are often being criticized that they are too close to their study, too invested, and even angry. They're accused of being irrational. And on top of it all, they are often said to have an agenda. But the truth is, every researcher has an agenda! #phd #academia

Excited to share my latest article published in Feminist Studies, "Masked Violence against Black Women and Girls," in their latest Special Issue on Black Feminist Thought! So much love to the young Black girls who shared their stories with me! 💜 doi.org/10.15767/femin…

@WolfInMen42 @Lenny_P_Cover @NPR Well for example, the category Black/African American is intended to include Black people of different ethnic backgrounds. I would check that box because I'm Black and my ethnicity is Jamaican. I grew up in NYC and I was surrounded by Black people of different ethnicities.

Asian Americans are still perceived as the “model minority.” But this is a myth — one that flattens diverse experiences and doesn’t align with current statistics. Here are misconceptions that have arisen from the trope. trib.al/DGACdBc

@django_paris How timely. I was having a similar conversation with one of my colleagues yesterday. I find creative works deeply moving and insightful and I use them in my teaching practice and that's why I draw on them in my writing.

@django_paris Congratulations!

@MsJaDell Sister Act 2 is one of my favorite movies. I used to watch it all the time. I had it memorized lol.
