👇🏾 Academic dishonesty and fraud are completely legitimate reasons to terminate a tenured faculty member.
When you are a faculty member of color, your identity means so much to your students. I had a student I’ve mentored for 3 years tell me today how exciting it was for her to see an energetic brown woman in a sea of white at one of her first events in our department.
I’m directing an honors thesis this fall for another student, in part because I’m the right person for the topic, in part because I’ve been supportive to her and she wanted to work with a faculty member of color and trusted me.

Apropos of a conversation on contract grading, which followed on the heels of a conversation about teaching with my partner, in which we concluded that I am basically a hippie, I really wonder why some teachers and professors are committed to the punitive model of education.
My partner’s theory is that some professors are deeply invested in being A Professor, i.e. the repository of knowledge to be professed to students. Mine is that it’s because this is what they experienced and thus allows them to feel safe and in control.
He asked, “If the world is punitive, then which approach to education best prepares students for that world?” (He’s been a K-8 educator for 20+ years and is also basically a hippie.)

Thank you, @annetiquate & @caitduffy49 for the opportunity to speak today and to all of you who are participating. I'll be talking about the role of Twitter and social media in humanities knowledge production and how they've influenced my work. #HCTwitterConf19
I often say I owe my entire career to Twitter. And that's true - though I'm super conscious of my reliance on a third-party platform with a dubious track record on social justice. #HCTwitterConf19
Twitter has been a space of connection and intellectual community that I've never been able to find consistently anywhere else - ever. #HCTwitterConf19
