Wrong, full stop. Departments and programs host majors which offer classes and provide academic homes for scholars. Classics us a GREAT example. How Classics teaches Plato is not how English teaches it, which is not how philosophy teaches it, despite studying the same texts.

Their depravity never ends. Ugh.

BREAKING: The White House today proposed eliminating the Title X family planning program. A few hours later, the health dept quietly released guidance that would shift the focus of the program millions of low-income people rely on away from contraception and toward "family formation."

"The nearly 70-page document included no mention of contraception other than an assertion that it is overprescribed, has negative side effects, and is part of a broader “overreliance on pharmaceutical and surgical treatments.”

Most of our majors are double majors and almost without exception for the ones I’ve advised we are the thing they love and want to do and their other major is the thing their parents want/expect them to do.

It’s just to say that we can’t depend on a technology going away on its own just because it doesn’t work well and loses a lot of money. That isn’t enough when it comes to infrastructural technologies aligned with military interests. So we can’t rely on things just “working out” on their own.

People don’t wanna put two and two together with what he did to usaid and him putting up those maps of global birthrates and saying white people are being replaced

I went to the UN climate conference in 21 with a delegation from the US Gulf South and the conversation with Global South comrades was about the need to focus ourselves inwards, to move this country to commit to justice for the people of color here inside our borders.

Re: Means Testing. When City College of New York was wondering about charging tuition to cover costs in the 70s they found it would cost more in admin and red tape then not charging but were told to do it anyway to teach students a lesson about responsibility

Dear @economist.com , as a leading scholar on exit your assessment is wrong. Westerners leaving in droves is not good for the democracy in their countries. In my new book death, diversion and departure I explain why. Yes, a theory drawn from African data is broadly applicable.

Last night, I was awarded the inaugural Scholar - Activist Award by the LGBTQ Caucus at the Western Political Science Association Annual Conference. During my acceptance speech, I explained that, for Black women, we are rarely recognized while we are living.

Since this ruling, I have heard from so many of my Jewish students about their fear that they could be put on a similar list, since our school has also been investigated by the government. They are so much more terrified of that than antisemitism on campus. thehill.com/homenews/edu...

Let me add “in the US,” before people start fighting me. But somehow, the US “stay/pause in place” policies got overinflated in people’s minds over time. Meanwhile, I remember clearly that people were “outside” because I had to work outside. 🤷🏿‍♀️

Don't let this drive flop! One day left: help Crips for eSIMs support thousands of Palestinians EVERY day with internet connectivity. This is a crucial utility that means their voices can reach us and each other. £5 keeps someone connected for a month. 292/500 by Saturday: bit.ly/esimsUK

Joe Mansueto is founder and majority owner of Morningstar, a financial services company, and this is how corporations co-opt university resources for R&D while also infusing the culture with ideas that support their economic interests and objectives.

One frustrating thing about being a woman and/or person of color is that no matter how much you achieve or how high you rise, you know your life could always be ruined in an hour by some unqualified good old boy. But kudos to George and Driscoll for their solidarity. Hegseth has to go.

Huh I was wondering why he would fire a white guy … *this* could be why, I guess

I'm partly motivated by the fact that I refer to no less than 10 reference books when I design/update this course, but there's nothing that brings together the topical/case/applied policy studies aspect with the methods/measurement focus.

What is telling about this moment is that most people actually like “DEI” (also known as a workplace where bosses cannot berate you with racial or sexist slurs with impunity) a whole lot more than MAGA

Mychal’s picture book is absolutely delightful, just like him. It will be a perfect read aloud for storytimes and class visits.

‘As the rooms empty, Black women are pushed out of the city and into townships on the periphery, precisely where apartheid planned for them to live all along,’ writes Hannah Crowe in this issue’s Outrage piece on the rooftop rooms of Johannesburg. Read the full piece now online:

This speaks directly i think to the devaluing of skill and experience. When you buy a hand painted thing or knit sweater or a book etc you are paying not just for the object, but the years of expertise that created it. Same with hiring a plumber or lawyer etc. Skill matters. Experience matters.

“While any pay raise is helpful, this is very disappointing news,” said Parents' Campaign Executive Director Nancy Loome in a March 27 statement. “A $2,000 pay raise is unlikely to stem the exodus of teachers from the classroom or to attract new teachers into the profession."

Great article—if you want to know why so many universities, even across oceans, are singing the same tune, look to the consultants selling them the same plans! I like this point that the same-ness distills down to the department and class level too. we all become fungible units.

UW fires its Director of Middle East Studies from his position as Director of Middle East Studies for... um... knowing basic facts about the Middle East.

This is so, so well-articulated.

Criminalization is fascism’s indispensable fuel. Since criminalization determines people’s fates, we are all vulnerable. No matter whether it’s in vogue or not to organize to end prisons and jails, we must persist. Through the Warehouse exhibition+

Millions of people are being forced from their homes. Nearly two-thirds of the population in #Gaza live in displacement sites, while in the #WestBank, the scale of displacement is one of the largest since 1967. The regional military escalation has displaced over 1,000,000 people in #Lebanon.

Now any white man promoted has to be considered suspect because he may well have taken the place of a more qualified black or female officer personally removed from the promotion list by Hegseth.

I see myself in these stats! Black woman who recently became unemployed because of Trump's antihomeless policies affecting the budget of my organization here, present & accounted for.

The birthright citizenship case shows how Trump-era Republicans have embraced the convictions of the proslavery Senator John C Calhoun, who believed America was a “white man’s government” and the integration of nonwhites onto the polity would destroy the country www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

Yes, AND we actually have evidence (from the wonderful Liz Cascio) that universal preschool benefits low-income kids MORE than means-tested programs: jhr.uwpress.org/content/58/1/1. Good headline fodder for my class’ discussion of this paper next week!

“Plaintiffs accuse Klarna of making loans without traditional underwriting or income verification — a business model they argue ‘eerily resembles the pre–Great Recession subprime mortgage strategy.’”

This is brutal. Also, the justification that these decisions use is complete bullshit. Enrollment, for example, is not a straightforward result of the quality of the program: enrollment relies on institutional support for advertising and recruitment into a given major.

...I discuss this further in this essay, which IMHO is one of my best. (btw, "political correctness" is another one of these weasel words ppl use when they're trying to avoid directly discussing these "lines in the sand"): juliaserano.medium.com/how-to-write...
