I watched #conclave on the plane to #Aera2025 and honestly, I don’t think I’ve been this invested in a process that does not affect me in a while. I feel like I need an emergency trip to Rome to watch for the smoke.

Happy to be here in Denver for #AERA2025. Already caught up with great friends and learned a little something, despite being jetlagged.

This question should be asked of every leading institution, in the US and worldwide. Universities are meant to educate, not run like authoritarian business empires. #RashidKhalidi #AcademicFreedom #HigherEd #AcademicIntegrity #AcademicSky

Columbia could be using its $14.8 billion endowment to endure Trump's dictatorship for 2-4 years, resisting for other, less fortunate schools. But no. It's buckling to fascism. Columbia Is Nearing Agreement to Give Trump What He Wants www.wsj.com/us-news/educ...

Joking aside I am genuinely confused about how media literacy came to mean what it seems to mean to everyone online. I'm familiar with two somewhat separate understandings of media literacy, once again neither of which have anything to do with interpreting fiction.

if you find yourself reluctant to support the guy at Columbia because you find some of the politics he espoused distasteful or even abhorrent, you should know that this is exactly the reaction that they hoped for in choosing him as a target for unlawful detention based on political speech.

This is why people who are not your peers should not be in control of anything. They don’t know what they are doing. America was an intellectual leader training the world’s scientists. People who are anti-education should sit down. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

What is free or brave about policing our minds and bodies? Silencing our intellect? Forsaking our weak, tired, and poor? Sabotaging our children? Our greatness lies in our ability to demand justice and freedom and to educate ourselves to be better. #edusky #freedom #government #empathy #america

Next up: March is for "cold cases" - stories about research studies I did but never got published. This happens a lot for me because I am always collecting data, but I never have the time to write and deal with the publication process. 1/6 #MarchCold #PsychSciSky #CogSci

The best barrier to crisis-fueled control is building a world where crisis takes no toll. When fear isn’t fed and panic isn’t planned, strongmen lose their grip on the land. @geographers.bsky.social @americangeo.bsky.social #GeoSky #SocialPsyc #Psychology #PsychSciSky

Hey #academicsky - I have a bunch of students who want to pursue a career in #academia but in recent months have been very discouraged. I am trying to be optimistic, but what would you tell them? They are coming to me for advice. 🫠

There is no greater feeling than submitting a completed manuscript you are proud of. Especially when I got to do it with a cool new collaborator that drew me outside of my norm. #literacies #acwri #academicwriting #academicsky #edusky

First meeting of my #media and #literacies advanced #research class yesterday, and for the first time in a while I felt hopeful and energized. They’re scared of the world right now, but I think they are ready to take it on. They are also brilliant, which doesn’t hurt 😊. #edusky #academicsky

JD Vance: The professors are the enemy - Professors who give time and vital energy with respect and passion for knowledge, learning and sharing, let us say that the enemy is ignorance and greed, which are at the root of the loss of our humanity, and lead us back to the barbarism of the strongest.

I just talked to an experienced classroom teacher. She likely knows more about assessment and student needs than any of us. Education researchers are you drawing your next inquiry from the work and expertise of teachers? If not, why? Teachers are experts. #EduSky #EducationalReaserch #AcademicSky

Morning #academicsky and #edusky! What are your best suggestions for managing multiple #research projects? I need some organization #help. It’s a good thing that there are multiple projects, but I know something will fall through the cracks! #acwri #academicwriting #literacies

Rereading Freire and Macedo and stumbled upon the reference to Chomsky’s discussion of democracy. The importance of literacy educators to think deeply on Freire’s conceptualization of literacy as empowerment can’t be overstated. #literacies #edusky
