🚨Happy to share my newest publication, "Gender-justice and the development of intersectional thinking: Evidence from an intermediate French course," in which I demonstrate the potential of gender-just language pedagogies vis-à-vis intersectionality [🧵1/7+] Language educators are incr... The findings of this study meaningfully deepen our understanding of the benefits of gender-just language education by asking questions about how (& whether) students learn to think about intersections & to think intersectionally in language learning [2/7+]

Not allowed to invite students to share their pronouns? You can do an activity where students write short bios in the third person. Explicitly offer examples that use pronouns and others that avoid marking for gender so that students can use these as models if they do not wish to gender themselves.

So glad to be here this morning. And, if you know me, you know that setting my alarm for 7am is in itself an illustrative underlining of that statement. Grateful to listen and learn from @alwaystheself today. "She is also a bold influential voice on twitter" - Andrea Kelton-Harris speaking about @alwaystheself [2/]

👇🏻Please read these words. Please hear them. Please sit with them. Please invite others to do the same. Trans Studies, Trans Linguistics, ALx, Trans [Insert your field name here] may not pin itself down by design, but these are our very specialized fields. [1/4] We have been here, doing this work for a very long time. Many since before trans studies was a readable name. I (dare I say like most in trans studies) want to see our field(s) grow. We want to be welcoming spaces to people who are joining us in this work in earnest. [2/4]

I do not know this paper. I do not know it's author. But I know this practice like the back of my hand. There's this pernicious tendency for people to not act in actual solidarity w/ the communities in which they research. This is not an exception, nor exceptional. [1/5] I often see this type of problematic self-positioning, as hierarchies of power work to keep silent those most affected; It is often those who most bear the weight of these troublesome research practices who are in the most precarious situations for calling them out. [2/5]

🚨 Very happy to share this *new* pub, which began as a collection of sketches & questions in my notebook more than 5 yrs ago now! I hope this will be helpful as we continue to work together to articulate what Trans French Studies & what trans-affirming ALx can look like [1/6] Subverting the Culturally U... I also hope this work will be helpful in (re)centering the voices of non-binary people as we think about & write through the ways that we position ourselves within and against myriad culturally and linguistically situated understandings of gender, particularly in French. [2/6]

It's about to start! 👇🏻 So glad to get to be here for this launch! @morganmpage begins the convo after a bit of situating by the organizers. She discusses her own intellectual journey as a writer, public historian, & artist within and against the historical moments in which she, like many, "had a limited sense of what our lives could be" [2/]

So excited to be at this event! (Happening NOW!) @HilMalatino starts off in the chat with "Hi all! In the spirit of Trans Care, I’ve posted this link to Trans Lifeline’s “Until We’re All Free” campaign. They’re raising funds for bail and for commissary, and I encourage y’all to donate." secure.givelively.org/donate/trans-l…

2021 events are stacking up fast! 🥳 @FLAGeorgia #FFFFFF2021 & Penn State in January, UT-Arlington & MSU in March, & an unknown number of other talks that are still being finalized or that I haven't yet gotten to reading in my inbox! What else am I forgetting right now?😆🤓 Y'all, I can't keep up! But I am looking forward to a semester that feels like it is going to be stacking up nicely as one of writing through a few piles of data and a lot of meaningful conversations. * Returns to triaging email and giving student project feedback *

Listening to Julia Spiegelman call out the way that French language textbooks present French colonization as justifiable (it is not), Francophone places as places to leave (they are not), and as the Francophonie as a product to consume (it is not). #ddfc @DdfcTweets 1/4 She notes the essentializing discourses that occur in our textbooks that --if not laid bare, questioned, and upended-- leave our students with MISrepresentations. This plays out through: 2/4

Important Twitter poll for NB Twitter: Would you agree? "Binary grammatical gender (e.g., how grammatical gender works in languages like French/Spanish/etc.) can feel kinda like this for non-binary people, except WAY less funny." Image Poll:

Reading, learning, & thinking more about the past of where I am today, before Cass & Erique's panel in ~1 hour. Thankful that Florence started talking about this article today: Stryker, S. (2020). Institutionalizing Trans* Studies at the University of Arizona. TSQ, 7(3), 354-366. Here's a link to the aforementioned panel info, if you haven't seen it yet! (I'm really looking forward to this one!)
