I regularly find with my graduate students this idea that theory is abstract and disconnected from "real life". What are some ways to get them to see that theory is deeply embedded in the world around them? #academicsky #critcaltheory #education

47 created a fake university and now he is dictating what universities can and cannot teach.

Waffle House adding a ¢50 surcharge per egg is another example of policy decisions creating undesirable outcomes that will be felt most heavily by working class individuals in the U.S. The oligarchy is oligarchy-ing. #neoliberalism

The intense focus on merit is ironic considering everyone preaching it is a nepo-baby.

The irony of the party of small government engaging in a huge display of federalism and over reach is not shocking. The circus is in town. #fortyseven

Me responding to a reviewers critique of my methodology. #academicsky #research

Because the Fall Semester was so busy I never shared my most recent publication. This is manuscript is a new analysis of my dissertation data examining rural school takeover. #EdPolicy journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10....

Reviewer 2 can really ruin your day. Especially when you are coming from different research paradigms #academicsky

All I want for Christmas is for my R&Rs to be accepted with no more revisions. #tenuretack #academicsky

Another #wgi season starts. So excited for first round auditions with United Percussion. On my flight to Philly now!

Today I wrote with some colleagues at a coffee shop, it was delightful. Working in community always makes the task less tedious! #AcademicSky #PhDLife

First day of class and there are a bunch of bikes on campus. Someone needs to tell the undergrads single speed/fixed gear bikes are not the way in a college town with hills.

Anyone else ever feel like they are cosplaying as a researcher? #AcademicSky #AcademicChatter #PhDLife

Getting ready for the semester, and working on my dissertation, and applying for jobs... this school year is going to age me a few years.
