And I color coded them differently for primary sources and secondary sources. If I noticed a substantial gap anywhere in one type of source or the other, I'd take time to go back to research whatver minor point I was making in the chapter.

The cards were really just for visual organization and quick outlining. I kept more detailed reading notes on each source on evernote. But having the cards let me move things around on the wall visually, which helped me figure out how to order my evidence.

Each card had author last name, short title, date at top. Scope, Argument, methods, evidence base on front. Compelling quotes on back. Then Id list 3 other names to connect to at bottom of card.

Its a disservice to students, faculty, and staff to take organizing/justice language and plop it in a uni setting and pretend it fulfills the goals of that movement. No it does not. No it cannot. The movement would require education to exist beyond the pay-to-play model weve gone with in the US. 2/2

Now post phd I also have an ADHD dx. At the time I did not. I organized my diss on recipe cards, kept short notes for each source on each card. Id pull out 5 cards a day from the holder and challenge myself to write about them, and pull out the next cards that would connect for the next day.

I finished my diss while securing a dx for mast cell activation disorder. Was in and out of the hospital with anaphylaxis, and had to deal with a lot of diet changes, med changes, and life changes. I listened to my body, and I really took to heart the whole "a good diss is a done diss."

Many academics claim "you HAVE to do x to be a productive writer." None of those strategies worked for me. I got so frustrated struggling with practices that didnt work. Please remind your students theres no one way to write, and esp encourage neurodivergent students to design their own practices

Having precedence of an accommodation provided on file can help other people get the same accommodation, but if it poses any risk to you at all you shouldnt be pressured whatsoever to do that.

And now that paperwork will be inherently used to target and harm disabled students. We should have moved beyond the legal accommodation compliance process years ago. Now it is more important than ever to do so. 3/3 #Academia #Disability

Faculty are often resistant to providing accommodations. Those issues are compounded by time delays, excessive costs, and red tape students experience when trying to secure paperwork needed for accommodations. 2/3

The collective rebuttal cant be "autistic people do all these things." Bootlicking RFK is not the solution. People have value regardless of their capacity to labor for the goddamn state. 2/2
