The conquest of Tenochtitlán has mostly been recounted as a triumph of “civilized” Europe over the “uncivilized” Indigenous people of the Americas, of technological advancement over backwardness and Christianity over paganism. n.pr/2Ypr2J1
Would anyone care to share: What is it like teaching 6 survey classes per semester (35 students per section)? I currently teach 1-2, so it would be... a big difference. Would I ever see my children? #twitterstorians
"It can be easy to recognize a racist or orientalist policy, especially when they’re given monikers like the 'Muslim Ban.' But it’s harder to apply those same skills when reading a textbook, which is presented as an impartial repository of knowledge." contingentmagazine.org/2021/01/15/tex…
Everyone should have access to free community college.
I wrote an article about teaching last spring- please take a look!
As Kate Bennecker (@HappyOccurrence) began teaching her World Civilizations class, she was taken aback by passages in the textbook that were Islamophobic and orientalist. She and her students saw this as an opportunity. contingentmagazine.org/2021/01/15/tex…
My message to my fellow Americans and friends around the world following this week's attack on the Capitol.
Dropped off my absentee ballot this morning: turn one way in the parking lot for ballot dropbox and democracy; turn the other way for long covid testing line run by the Natl Guard. 2021 is starting out with some heavy messaging.
I left my PhD program to become a mom & now teach community college students as an adjunct. Would I complete my PhD today if I had a chance? Maybe. Do I think the system is fair to everyone? Nope. Will I defend others' completion and right to be called Doctor? You bet.
A Pennsylvania poll worker explains the painstaking process of counting votes — and why claims of voter fraud are absurd vox.com/first-person/2…
3 students stayed 40 min after class today chatting about the class, and asking questions about the Lost Cause Narrative and "what is historical truth?" These conversations are so valuable and help us learn about the past AND the present.
Almost 18 and in GA? Register to vote in the runoff!
Psst! In Georgia, 23,000 young people were not old enough to vote in the general election this year, but will be eligible to vote in the runoff election for U.S. Senate in January 2021 if they register to vote by December 7, 2020. Spread the word.
Just spent an entire class period answering questions about the election, GA’s role in it, and the underlying racism of the electoral college.
GA colleges want to go back to f2f for Spring. As contingent faculty, I can’t risk my family’s health for a job that provides no healthcare, long term contract, or even a living wage. I love to teach, but it looks like I’ll be out of work in Jan.
This hasn't gotten enough attention, but you need to know. Everybody needs to know. 1/ It's about the massive coverup campaign underway to disguise the octopus-like Russian election interference operation being run on Trump's behalf. Please read this whole thing.
All I can think about is how wonderful it has been to have such a role model for my girls. I haven't broken the news to them yet, but the adults in this house are devastated tonight and tomorrow we will call our senators.
Thanks to the Ruth Bader Ginsburg picture book, my 20 month old can now identify "Ruth" by sight. #momwin #lifegoals #babyfeminist
So many of my students this semester are first year students and they are so overwhelmed with the technology.
I already had to decline teaching a second course section this semester because of lack of child care, but I'm thankful that my division is currently collecting data about how changing child care is impacting faculty members.
I watched this with my girls, because we talk about how important it is to use our strong voices to stand up for what is right. @AOC is a role model for us.
“I am here because I have to show my parents that...they did not raise me to accept abuse from men.” Watch @AOC powerfully stand up for herself and for women and girls across the country. #RoarForWomen
I have a student from last semester who is doing extra reading with me this summer. She should at least be a history minor, right? If she’s reading monographs for fun during a pandemic?
In an attempt to have a work-free Mother's Day, I powered through ALL THE GRADING today. My students rose to the occasion of terrible circumstances and I am proud of them.
