In one day, two friends tell me they are resigning from their tenure track jobs. The timing of their announcements is a coincidence; but the fact they’re both women is not. They harbor no illusions that academia will do and be better for women, scholars of color, and their young families.
🚨NEW REPORT: Jail populations have exploded over the last 4 decades while getting almost none of the attention prisons do.

Lorgia García Peña is the first person I've heard mention the genocide in Palestine at #POD23. Are these discussions happening? How are we addressing this in our ed dev work?
Discrimination against scholars of color, unfair labor practices, attacks on affirmative action and the humanities and critical race studies...

This was a really great intro to the use of unessays as assignments and assessments. Lots of Students as Producers vibes here… student choice, open-ended questions, multimodal work.
Childcare access is so important for working professionals - thank you POD Network for providing childcare during this conference. The littlest learners and their grown ups wouldn’t be here without you ❤️
Here at POD network for professional developers - excited to be learning alongside all these great minds!
