In light of today’s #studentloanforgiveness news, I am thinking about @DarrickHamilton and the many Black economists and academics who have - for nearly 20 years - made the case and connected student loan debt to wealth inequity and racial and economic justice in the U.S. 1/x
So it's been a while... but figured it was worth thawing this account to make a few changes reflecting my job move 🥰

ALT People who study race and US politics are often viewed at the margins. If you look at our recent election cycle and the history of the US, it would be hard to argue that race is not only relevant but central to an understanding of the US political system.

Meanwhile, institutions need to ask themselves if the role of schools is to encourage and support teaching/learning or to police teachers and students. And, if the role of schools is not policing, then institutions need to focus on adequately supporting students and teachers.

Start by asking yourself if the role of teachers is to encourage and support student learning or to police student learning. If we can agree the (primary) role of teachers is to encourage and support learning, it becomes much easier to adapt policies, assignments, and assessment.

The grim anniversary of George Floyd's death had me do what I often do when I'm in need of reflection - sit by the water and ask myself if I've done my part. So many things that felt unmovable have shifted after last year's rebellion.
I'm grateful that those efforts have found at least some purchase, that being publicly identified as an abolitionist hasn't closed the doors I feared it would, and that I find myself alongside a number of fellow travelers is an incalculable blessing.
One ring to track them all,
One ring to find them
One ring to serve them ads
And in the data bind them

we were far away from that last year and we remain so today. we got some liberal folks out there rehabilitating 1960s and 1970s era 'crime in the streets' discourse

and i never really took the "we're in a racial reckoning" discourse seriously. i don't think it's 2014 where it seemed like getting body cameras was a big deal, but a reckoning to me presumes there's a willingness to consider an overhaul of racist, carceral institutions...

wild its been a year since the start of the George Floyd rebellion. the outcomes are very much a mixed bag. the idea of defunding the police & abolition took a leap in mainstream discourse, but we're back to centering police (rather than people) in discussions of public safety

My high school classmate, Danny Fenster, a journalist in Myanmar, was arrested a few hours ago at the airport on his way back to Detroit. He’s being held in Insein Prison in Yangon and hasn’t been allowed to contact anyone. Please help spread the word.
Some good news! I was selected as one of ten Photo Ambassadors for the @WashtenawCounty park system! Looking forward to sharing views of our lovely natural spaces, and hopefully making outdoor pursuits more accessible to people of color and disabled folks.
