There’s an invitation and space for all of us in this beautiful world-building CFP. The planning team writes, "Through an abolitionist understanding of democracy, shadows are not only places of darkness; they are also spaces of resistance and radical reimagining.” @cufancss.bsky.social

The fight for freedom that was yesterday is the fight for freedom today is the fight for freedom tomorrow. None of us are free while our human and more than human kin continue to be harmed by the violences of white settler supremacy. We fight on.

Indigenous knowledge systems, rooted in the land, emphasize ethical, sustainable, and reciprocal principles of interconnection and interdependence. These systems hold the greatest potential to ensure humanity’s survival on Earth.

Making the most of the on and off rainy Sunday here in the PNW with a mid-morning trip to the park.

In my nostalgia feels this morning as I ride the Green Line to Hynes. Thinking about younger me, the simultaneously bright eyed and scared BU college kid unsure of what she would make of her life. Oh if she could see herself now and what’s she’s riding the T this morning to go do. 🤍

Heading to #CUFA2024 in Boston and interested in thinking and dreaming with adrienne maree brown’s emergent strategy for social studies education and research!? Come hangout with some of my brilliant colleagues and me Thursday morning, 8am! Hope to see you there!

Watching my boys watch me pack for #CUFA2024 breaks my heart.

CUFA is on BlueSky. Get ready for the #CUFA2024 Conference in Boston this week!

New pub alert! “Settler social studies: On disappointment and hope for the future” with @leilanisabz.bsky.social in the 5th edition of “The social studies curriculum: Purposes, problems, and possibilities” edited by E. Wayne Ross (2024)

Hi! I’m an anti-colonial social studies scholar, teacher educator, public school advocate. My research examines settler colonialism in social studies curriculum (e.g., state standards), research methodology, and popular media (e.g., film & kid lit). Honored to co-edit three books w/ more on the way!

Intros are in order. Meet Nico and Odin—6 year old XL Bully/AmStaff brothers who rescued me in 2020. They survived extreme violence their first two years of life but now live as the most spoiled fur kids in the PNW. Their favorite things are fuzzy blankets, road trips, nightly tug games after dinner

Odin and Nico have entered the chat. Now let’s get down to business! #socialstudiesdogs #socialstudieseducation
