Sorry to interrupt this coup, but this somehow seems the right time to remind that @BlackPhDE, @Linguacene, Adam Oberlin and I will be speaking on a roundtable, "Teaching German and Germanic Languages in the Age of White Supremacy" on Saturday at 3:30 EST. #MLA21

Just overheard a very sad inner monologue from a man in the grocery store, standing in front of the ice cream section, who asked himself aloud “do I want ice cream? .... *pause* .. do I deserve ice cream ? No.”

Concrete to-do's: Uca suggests: asking graduate students how they're feeling right now. Graduate students' lives have changed more than most faculty members' have during COVID, due to precarity. We need to express care beyond mere intellectual support.

Concrete to-do's: @jvmoltke suggests renewed exploration of multilingual subjectivity with undergrads, internships for grad students, more governance positions for contingent faculty.

Didem Uca suggests that conversations with academic mentors about post-ac / alt-ac positions / pathways have to be no-shame, low-stakes explorations, not the fraught and potentially unethical kinds that can typify many faculty attitudes toward alt-ac.

Vance Byrd: invite people to your dept. to give workshops / presentations who come from different kinds of programs. Invite two-year-college colleagues to a four-year-university departments. Invite non-profit specialists, community leaders.

Didem Uca: If we are talking big about decolonization / diversity in our fields, are we also willing to look in the mirror at our own department, where sexist & racist micro / macroaggressions still continue, and colleagues are not held to account.
