Can someone please remind me: are college students blue-haired ickle snowflake babies, or hardened terrorist revolutionaries out for blood? Having a hard time keeping it straight.

I'm seeing Bad Religion tomorrow!

NEWS: 3,700 University of Pennsylvania grad students have unionized with the UAW, in a landslide 1807-to-97 vote.

The union claims they 'will become the largest new private sector union in Philadelphia in over 50 years.'

Annelise Orleck has been banned from Dartmouth campus for six months for trying to protect her students from riot police.

Unboxing my new book, 'Who we are is where we are: Making home in the American Rustbelt'! What a labor of love. Why do people stay in hard places, when all evidence suggests leaving is the best best? Read the book!

When I was a student, research on #AsianAmericans never appeared on my syllabi. Now as faculty, I’m committed to conducting research that makes the study of Asian Americans essential to the social sciences—creating the syllabi I wish I had. #AAPI The AAPSS

Happy May Day and Asian American & Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander Month. While celebrating worker solidarity, it should be reminded that labor hasn't always been anti-racist.

Republicans bout to make college a lot more expensive in the upcoming years in response.

Save this tweet, it's gonna be true at the state level and if they get federal control... Yeah those student loans and repayments for future students gonna be real nasty.

Just got an R&R with constructive criticism from reviewer #2. Neat.

Always in awe of the power of Said’s ‘Orientalism’ & the incredible amount of clarity & precision it took to map out centuries of dehumanization, the unsophisticated yet entrenched nature of oppressive systems, & the ability to understand your/others plight through those events.

From today’s The Washington Post

“Only 30 percent of the 2024 HS graduating class has completed a FAFSA, a 36 percent drop compared with this time last year.”

Will future world-systems scholars be calling this the long 2020s?

Thread: 1/ The national conversation on higher education is terribly distorted, beginning with the assumption that faculties are a hotbed of radicalism and that students are invariably 'woke.' The vast majority of faculty and students at places like Columbia are not activists.

Can’t believe how quickly this generation of college students went from being characterized as lazy, unmotivated and unprepared to accomplish anything to a posing such a threat to their elders that they must be subdued by snipers and cops with cuffs and clubs.

“I’m sad that there are people who have things they wanted to study being told these things aren’t important.”
Pure math, languages, Appalachian Studies program, and many more were considered not important and not essential at WVU... No comment your honor.

Your teaching evaluations aren’t great, you aren’t publishing much, and you have no external funding, have you considered going into administration?

Walter Benjamin should be canonical in all humanities and social science fields.
