on this sunday-est of sundays, syllabus-ing for a new term you're not alone against the oligarch agenda of cognitive deskilling, data capture, surveillance, and bias: we've got assignment ideas, memes, recommended readings, o' captain speeches, syllabus policies, and so much more against-a-i.com

You do not have to be good to be protected by the law, but the reactionary argument is explicitly that the law only protects the good, as defined by them. That argument is worth rejecting over and over again, both domestically and internationally.

Wild day to have slept in as a Latin Americanist. My thoughts are with the people of Venezuela and the rule of law. This is not how to build trust and stability.

My book explores how some particular human rights narratives (in literature or film) from Guatemala and Colombia address critical positions on empathy in their plots, characters, and interpretations of historical memory and human rights reports.

Grades successfully submitted. I'm really proud of my students' creative work in my two human rights courses this term, one an introduction to HR studies and the other on Chilean and Peruvian cultural productions. Time for holiday comfort food!
