Day ✌🏼 of TED. Dr @yangfu.bsky.social kicking off this 8AM session with a qualitative study on supports in mathematics courses for teaching English Learners with disabilities in special education programs.

Hello Kansas City!! First TED and repping my POWER! I’ll be presenting today at the Kaleidoscope poster session at 1PM.

Let the flight delays begin… 😅 See yall in Kansas City… maybe?

I miss seeing Internet friends on academia twitter 🥹

Packing for my first TED Conference and had to pause and check in with my Northern friends on how to pack for weather in the 40s 😬 Well… I’ll be presenting at Kaleidoscope on Thursday if my blood doesn’t freeze 😅

NEW RESOURCE! In collaboration with my colleagues, here's an infographic on utilizing Positionality statements to strengthen credibility in qualitative research. This is part of an Infographic series led by Dr. Latara Lampkin.

It’s disappointing that efforts to combat teacher shortages no longer aligns with this administration’s priorities www.jsonline.com/story/news/e...

Had the best time getting together in the 3D with amazing members of The Neuroverse Initiative. Thanks @jesstella.bsky.social for having me on this panel to discuss the importance of inclusion and universal design.

Thanks to the panelists and hosts @jxjwang.bsky.social & @lindyjjohnson.bsky.social for the conversation on continuing critical ed research in the current climate. #SREE2025

New working paper! With Dr. @HannahCKistler, we examine how emergency-licensed special education teachers are distributed across and within schools and service delivery models compared to their non-emergency-licensed counterparts in the state of Indiana edworkingpapers.com/ai25-1286

@tashnuvashaheen.bsky.social - emergency licensed special ed teachers more likely to work in self contained settings, less likely to work in inclusive settings; more likely to work with students with IDD and ASD. Such important findings regarding inequitable sorting of special ed teachers!

If you're at #SREE2025 and looking for an awesome section, come check out our panel on critical research at 3:30 - 5:00PM in Salon 10!

My colleague Dr. Sehrish Shikarpurya and I got to work on a review of the use of Critical Quantitative Methods (CQM) within special education. In this review, we offer a blueprint for researchers to meaningfully integrate CQM into special education/disability-related research. osf.io/preprints/ed...

The murder of America's world-best higher education sector--a leading export good of the US economy--continues under this lawless autocratic regime, and gets worse

I have the coolest friends. Go Prof. @yangfu.bsky.social !!

I'm generally a big fan of @rachelefish.bsky.social scholarship on disability identification, but this recent publication has me so excited! It takes me back to when I was more in the social psych world thinking about teachers' roles in disability ID and disprop journals.sagepub.com/doi/pdf/10.1...

A sure sign that summer is over. The POD SPED Jobs list is back!! 👀 not me bookmarking this and checking it religiously…

Cosplaying as a top college student at 人民大学 😎

Same time next year in Peru? 👀

What a joy and honor it is to present with my friend and colleague Dr. Sehrish Shikarpurya on the use of critical quant methods in sped research! This has been my favorite project to date ❤️ Thank you to everyone who came and shared this time and space with us!

Starting our morning in Nairobi at Kenya Institute of Special Education. Here for DISES International Conference with @estherlindstrom.bsky.social and our VIP guest 😁 #DISES2025 #DISESinKenya

Cuts have consequences, illustrated. As seen on TV 📺

Imagine it is 2007. All academic performance talk, all the time. NCLB sanctions starting to hit. Someone reveals the future to you with this article. Hard to believe we landed here.

The irony of seeing a group of teenagers in maga gear walk into the Holocaust Museum in DC. “What is happening in Germany today may happen tomorrow in any other land on earth u less it is challenged and rebuked… we must speak out.”

New @caldercenter.bsky.social WP! A study from my dissertation, w/ @roddy-theobald.bsky.social, @natejones.bsky.social‬, & @lizbettini.bsky.social. We find staff turnover matters for SWDs. Ungated WP & one pager: • Working paper: tinyurl.com/j3rykkp9 • One-pager: tinyurl.com/bddtzxtp

🧪 Attention those with terminated grants, including for NSF, NASA, EPA, NIH, etc: Let Congress know about the impact of terminations via this form: democrats-science.house.gov/grantcancela... Only Dem staff on the House Science Committee will have access (unless if you explicitly state otherwise).

🧵 Today's revocation of Harvard's ability to enroll international is awful for many reasons, chief among them the human cost as @jeremywallace.bsky.social notes. It's also an attack on the US economy. But maybe less obvious: it is terrible national security policy. It makes Americans less safe. 1/

A true giant among giants. How I will miss your wisdom and kindness, Lynn. What an honor it was to have known and learned from you.

There will never be an obituary that can adequately capture all that Lynn Fuchs was as a scholar, mentor, and just wonderful human being. I’m grateful she was in my life. www.specialeducationtoday.com/p/lynn-s-fuc...

In a moment when institutions are capitulating to the administration over diversity and race— Im thinking of offering a condensed version of my short Columbia course on race, media and global history for this moment. Would y’all sign up?

In 2025, AERA will return to the 5-day format for #AERA25 and offer a new submission option. Learn more about in the latest issue of Highlights: www.aera.net/Newsroom/AER...

stares in Floridian at Denver weather forecast 👀 What exactly does a low in the 40s mean 🤔

as a professor who has been trying very hard to keep her students calm all semester, i literally don't know how to process the news out of Florida State except to say solidarity to everyone there and fuck our leaders who have failed us

Shooting memorial cancelled because of a shooting is so very American.

Same. This is not my American Dream 💔

I need the Florida house to “thoughts and prayers” less and legislate more. There is no reason for anyone to go through this. And chilling to see a quote of a Parkland survivor going through this “again.” This is needed. Gun control NOW.

I wish website user interface updates would come with a short video of navigation updates. Can't find anything on my student portal 😅 @vanderbilt pls

Check out the livehandbook.org, an open-access resource that will be continuously updated to serve as a hub of policy relevant #educationresearch. @weilanch.bsky.social and I coauthored a chapter on ECE quality. This kind of initiatives bring me hope in challenging times for the education field.

This is true; people with green cards get deported all the time. What is almost largely unprecedented is Rubio’s move to declare a green card holder deportable for his speech, and nothing more.

Someone wrote a story about my career journey. Picking this up ASAP. Comes out September. Let’s support @itsafronomics.bsky.social

Reagan also gave us scapegoats to blame for our sense of precarity. His racist and sexist attacks on the so-called "welfare queen" fueled the lingering view that government "dependents" are stealing from "deserving" people and that Democrats make it too easy for the "undeserving" to get ahead. 5/

Let's just be clear about this--Reagan was not in any way a good president. And without him, we wouldn't be in this whole mess right now. 🧵1/
