One of my favorite things about my first time at #ASEE2022 has been meeting like minded people. Nothing quite like having a lively chat about challenging rigor over beers with @SarahJaneBork @_Corey_B @JoeyValle13 @avneethira @_btrittipo @rob_loweth. @ASEE_DC @asee_sd

I had the opportunity to attend Dr. Vincent-Ruz’s @STEMxicanEd talk on #QuantCrit: supporting STEM marginalized students & exposing institutional systemic issues hindering their opportunities & success. Her thoughts energized me & excited to learn from such an amazing scholar!!

2020: Can I go running? 2021: My brother is a fully vaxxed Scorpio who only lies and my roommate is an unvaccinated INTJ who only tells the truth; how do we attend a 124-person outdoor wedding across a river with a fox, a chicken, and a sack of grain, and only one mask?

You can spend tens of thousands of dollars on #DEI efforts, but I’m giving you the 2 things that must happen for change to occur in your org. 1. Confrontation 2. Accountability If an org can’t confront and hold all people accountable, you won’t achieve your #diversity goals.

@ASEEDiversity @ASEE_DC while filling out the ASEE membership form today I was disappointed to see that the race/ethnicity menu only allows you to select one option. As a biracial person, this is erasure. I expected more from an organization dedicated to diversity and inclusion.

After 23 interviews with fellow alumni, I believe that without significant reform, @ideo is an unsafe workplace for women, PoC (People of Color) and WoC (Women of Color). #survivingideo medium.com/surviving-ideo/su…

The attitude that academia is what it is & isn’t going to change is problematic. Encouraging the open discussion of grad students’ mental health and teaching professors how to be supportive mentors are worth fighting for! Small steps lead to big changes.
