this reminds me of a point roland barthes makes in “novels and children” about women writers & specifically about elle magazine’s coverage of them
(mythologies, 1957, trans. richard howard)
Replying to @MoiraDonegan
The policy “conundrums” that have arisen from this conflict are always like “how do we convince women to sacrifice themselves for the maintenance of the nuclear family?” How about: we don’t.

I do hope everyone understands that what's happening at WVU is both an extreme version of what's happening at almost all public universities, and a trial balloon for doing it elsewhere

I'd like to give away 5 copies of the just-released paperback of In and Out of Sight: Modernist Writing and the Photographic Unseen to grads/precarious academics! I'll cover postage. If you're keen reply with a v. short description of your research so I can get to know your work!

“Biquette the goat, sold to an abattoir after she stopped producing milk but was rescued by punks and then spent 10 years watching grindcore bands. She could come and go as she pleased and, in the words of her rescuers, “escaped death, lived punk”. Absolute legend. 🐐

Every semester, at least a few colleagues express anxiety about student participation. I always suggest reframing the issue to honor multiple forms of engagement: how can we invite students to engage in ways that are accessible to them?
Here are some examples from my courses.

JERSEY FOLKS: professors at my alma mater @RiderUniversity are fighting for improved wages and a fair workload. They are the lifeblood of the university. I wouldn’t be where I am w/o them. In any way you can, support them. @RIDER_AAUP

The membership voted 99% to authorize a strike.
We will resume negotiations tomorrow in the morning.

Given how this debate is professionals talking among themselves, it's not well appreciated how ~40% of people with student loans don't have college degrees. A subset of debtors we've consigned to the worst of both worlds through our questionable educational financing choices. /4

Millions of student loan accounts were just transferred from Fedloan to MOHELA
You know what didn't get transferred in that process? A full history of past payments. That's how this is designed to work, and it is one reason people keep getting screwed.

Just asking students to use phrasing like "I suggest" and "I recommend" to set off feedback helps them produce formative comments. I noticed in my research on feedback that quite a bit of formative feedback is set off w these types of words & phrases.

Not a good look, Admin, not good.
We're in full contract negotiations with the Dell'Omo administration and guess what they've started to do?
They're attempting to hire interim faculty as strikebreakers!
Note, the administration lists also the Princeton campus address...

American capitalism isn’t producing what we NEED. It has ppl laboring as McKinsey consultants & making 68 flavors of Oreos toiling & bringing ppl a single milkshake for Uber Eats while healthcare & rent are inaccessible & while we can’t find lifeguards, baby formula or tampons.
New York City public pools opened on Tuesday for the season, but the city has had to cancel its free swim lesson program because of a lack of lifeguards. nyti.ms/3OSjUKj
