Ever wondered what happens when environmental science, e-bio, & theatre come together?? Young women’s voices for #climatechange I hope this tiny joyful glimpse from our latest project in Boulder, CO glavanizes you! instagram.com/p/CH_dy5nDi-b/…

I’m at CU Boulder 🦬. My 5 professor #dissertation committee is majority #international from 5 different countries, majority #POC, majority #female. We can decolonize academia! SO PUMPED to facilitate decolonial applied theatre with young women in Aswan, Egypt! Academic Chatter™

Well, I just read through the entire ATHE 2018 conference program to find a scholar I had a 5 minute conversation with in the hallway, who’s name I couldn’t remember. Name a better Sunday evening activity😂 #IFoundHer

*1 min after 1st Global Ancient, Classical Theatre class starts* Student: omg I make puppets—pulls out a handmade Kermit zoom chat erupts in awe 5 mins in, the student puppeteers, another impersonates Kermit, whole class suggests lines to act I hadn’t even introduced myself😂

Want to boost class moral in seconds? Ask everyone to change their Zoom names to their favourite breakfast food!! Be prepared for their roommates to join class and contribute to the discussion on Ibn Daniyal’s The Shadow Spirit play!

Please read this poignant op-ed by stellar CU Boulder 🦬 professor, @DrJenHo. We were usually the only women of color serving on campus committees while I was president of GPSG at CU Boulder. She’s an inspirational mentor & continues to fuel my resiliency within academia every day.

Physician, Politician, Activist, Novelist, Playwright. Brilliantly Badass till the day she died. نوال السعداوي legacy lives on forever and is foundational to intersectional feminism💗

Honored that my Theatre and Society syllabus just qualified for the CU Boulder 🦬 CU Boulder College of Arts and Sciences Gen-Ed US Diversity course list! Making it the ONLY Theatre/Performing Arts class on the list! #BIPOCacademics #AcademicTwitter

Ecstatic to present on Young Egyptian Women Authoring their Decolonial Feminist Identities at ATHE’s first full panel on Egyptian theatre!

Snehai Desai challenges us to question our university theatre programs. Are we genuinely preparing our students, especially our #BIPOC ones for theatre jobs? What else is there beyond professional or regional theatre that we have a responsibility to prepare them for? #ATHE2021

What would ATHE be without the obligatory late evening post-session #conferencepotato food run and selfie? Here’s to 4 more years! #ATHE2021

A reminder that #gatekeeping in academia includes the students who are forced to drop out 2 weeks into their 1st semester because they didn’t understand how to navigate financial aid, scholarships and in-state residency reqs. Academic Chatter™

When you get home still on a high from your Playback Theatre, community-based research residency in rural CO & see your ensemble got the President’s Fund for the Humanities grant to collab w/the Renee Crown Wellness Institute to support local youth 😍

What a treat this was! So honoured to share space with amazing MENA artists & scholars❤️ thank you #KunafaandShay for providing a much needed virtual space for our community! #RepresentationMatters

With every passing day the more dire the need to invest in young women as agents of change. My latest publication examines how girl-led activism & devising w/youth activates their agency to lead accessible #equity #inclusion #socialjustice in schools. tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

“Decolonizing the academy”= inclusive hybrid conferences w/FULL access to IRL & virtual events. It includes streaming, live captioning & multi-modal engagement. Otherwise we continue gatekeeping Global South, differently-abled, under-funded scholars

Playback theatre is one of my favourite, most invigorating practices. It’s such a joy to share. These letters by Paonia youth who participated in our 3rd residency w/NorthForkCreative made my entire ensemble cry❤️ can’t wait for next summer! #PELA

This is a very rare opportunity to engage with artists & scholars at the forefront of transforming the US theatre scene. Please join us in Dearborn, or check the virtual offerings!

Honoured to be a part of this collaboration! Whose working on #MENA / #SWANA performance related scholarship? Please join our working group!! We’d love to see you at ASTR

Boulder has 300 days of sunshine, so a rainy commencement is a fun treat? I wouldn’t want to get drenched with anyone other than my favourite mentors! #SkoBuffs
