I am proud to work in the Harriet Tubman Department of Women, Gender, and Sexuality Studies. This has been years in the making: the decision and commitment, then the process of getting university policies changed to allow for honorific naming that is not for a donor.
.@UofMaryland names academic department after legendary Marylander Harriet Tubman. Tubman’s legacy will be incorporated into curricula, programming and service impacting the entire campus. https://t.co/rwfcs22d9j

Between 2007-2016 only 22% of all @ERC_Research grantees were women. Appaling. Yet in his 2019 report the ERC President said the council had finally become "gender neutral". Is that so? /1

Depriving ppl of basic necessities (housing, healthcare, food, clean water, living wages) is a form of social control. Please understand this. Pouring money into police & prisons while denying ppl a decent quality of life is done to control ppl & limit their options in life.

Repair. Envision. Examine. Involve. Horizontalize. Necessary verbs for doing better right now, in academia, our relationships, our communities. Other verbs I want more of: slowing down, naming what is, attuning

Algorithm update. He cracked it: Two full sentences, followed by a word salad of all possibly applicable keywords. 100% on every assignment. Students on @EdgenuityInc, there's your ticket. He went from an F to an A+ without learning a thing.
