#Blessed to soak in the wisdom of @GholdyM today at the #SELinAction conference! Feeling galvanized to push through the hurt-pain-harm of academia, advocating for caring curriculum that cultivates the genius and joy of our multilingual learners. @NovoFoundation @ed1stconsulting
Let’s #redefine empathy as “the ability to celebrate the validity of another’s experience.” - Micah Kessel @BeEmpathable @selinaction @NoVoFoundation
Beacons in the miasma that is #academia. Wish me luck as I make sense of these hinterlands while continuing to find the becoming-questions that make new meaning. @ecobruja @TWTMazzei @Ethicsofcare @routledgebooks @UMinnPress #mattersofcare #thinkingwiththeory #AcademicChatter
A beautifully-done issue on #education from @laphamsquart. The preamble by @paultough is a galvanizing and gorgeous 9-page inquiry into the what, how, and whom — generative living questions that elucidate how education is an innately political act.
Charted this in Google Ngram and trying to make sense of it. Would love to hear your thoughts about how we might interpret this moment in history. @ofelia_otheguy @professorliwei1 @ClaireSylvan @nelsonlflores @DrJonathanRosa @kate_anna @LesleyBartlett_ @monishabajaj @MikeMenaNYC

A wonderful reminder that linguistic intelligibility is achieved relationally! Experiences of “language barriers” are often rooted in a lack of meaningful relation rather than linguistic discontinuity.

American equals white? American history equals white history? A Black woman playing an enslaver's flute is proof that the people who collectively hold every advantage over Black people have been conquered? They always reveal more than they think.
#Joy is gathering with educators last Saturday at the @AbdOakland x @MakerEdOrg for their #MakingasHealing event. Sharing these colorful images of joy and @summundo's words of reflection: "freedom/space/ever-expanding/balance." ☀️🔥💥 1/3
We got hands-on with the #repairmindset resource from @MakerEdOrg, @AbdOakland, and @CultureOfRepair, working with a selection of broken objects. Through repair, we remember that "we always have the power to leave people, places, and things better than we found them." 🛠️❤️🩹🥰 2/3
We re-envisioned our communities through collaborative zine-making. Cutting, collaging, and conversing, educators configured cultures of care for the upcoming academic year -- finding the poetry that sustains their work as they look towards the future. @doramedrano777 ✂️🤲🫶 3/3
