Time to start our #ASHE2021 Presidential Session entitled “Understanding and Supporting Student Success in an Alternate Reality" with @FeleciaElana, Ray Black, @AutumnWilke, @drdavidperezii, and me!
And yes, I am gonna try to 🧵 this 😂
Kicking us off, @FeleciaElana sets the context of the alternative/additional reality we will discuss today, both historical and contemporary #ASHE2021
How do we understand, foster, advocate for, and embody student success in this alternative reality? Our fabulous moderator @FeleciaElana kicking us off! #ASHE2021
This "new reality" is the "changing same" says Dr. Ray Black. In some ways, everything is the same but everything is a bit off. #ASHE2021
In many ways, the pandemic has exposed existing inequality and exacerbated it. At the same time, it has opened up possibilities for a new world. // @AutumnWilke#ASHE2021
How educators define success varies widely from how administrators and policymakers define success, creating an inherit tension but may cause us to shift our unit of analysis // @drdavidperezii#ASHE2021
We can debate how to define student success, but what we cannot do is rely on deficit-oriented notions of success // @drdavidperezii#ASHE2021
What do institutional definitions of success reveal about priorities, who counts as a student, finances, etc.? Institutional metrics of success do not develop in a vacuum // @AutumnWilke#ASHE2021
@FeleciaElana brings up the idea of holistic success, noting how students might graduate but they could feel torn down after their time in higher education - is that really success? #ASHE2021
It's not a matter of desire, but rather a lack of will that prevents HE institutions from really personalizing conceptions of success to students themselves // @FeleciaElana#ASHE2021

@victorerikray draws our attention to the national moral panic re: teaching race and racism in schools and colleges in the US, and the inherent riskiness of race-based researching this moment #racializedorganizations#ASHE2021
Very excited to hear from @DrBreeden and Jeremy Wright-Kim as this year's winners of the Bobby Wright Dissertations of the Year #ASHE2021 🧵
First up, @DrBreeden presenting her dissertation "'Miles away, but in our own backyard': A participatory action study examining relationships between historically white institutions and Black communities" #ASHE2021
@DrBreeden names it directly: historically white institutions are complicit in harming Black communities through a web of mistrust that includes enslavement, medical abuse, urban renewal, and gentrification (to name a few) #ASHE2021
Looking forward to learning with and from @Dr_Catalano, @rachellwag, and @Susan_Marine in their interactive symposium "Teaching the Tools of Resistance: Crafting Critical Classrooms" #ASHE2021 🧵
Me and @HeyDrMcCloud are virtually sitting next to each other!
Dr. Noelle Arnold welcoming us to this third installment of the #OSUDearWhitePeople series. Today's panelists are @DrAjWelton, @cheryl_phd, & Frank Tuitt and will discuss "Can you also be antiracist in educational spaces?"
An anti-racist standpoint involves an understanding of the history, pervasiveness, and endemic nature of racism in higher education and a deliberate rejection of color-evasive standpoints // Frank Tuitt #OSUDearWhitePeople
It's not enough to just say I am anti-racist. There must be evidence of it in your everyday actions and systemically within schools and institutions. // @DrAjWelton#OSUDearWhitePeople
Alright, ready for @DrDLStewart’s @TEDxCSU talk entitled:
Black Trans* Lives Matter
I am going to talk to you today about how Black trans lives matter and how race and gender have historically and currently intersected to shape the lives of Black trans people // @DrDLStewart
“My body defies the restrictions of a society consumed by boxes and binaries and ‘are you a boy or a girl?’ Independent of such conventions, my body clings instead to the long ago lore that understood its magic: I contain multitudes.” // @DrDLStewart
