I’m starting to wonder whether the push to make things engaging and activity-oriented is actually helping students develop skills that require sustained focus like reading, writing, and thinking critically.

An academic career progression can be perfectly linear: PhD - Postdoc - Assistant Professor. Here’s mine: PhD - Postdoc 1 - Postdoc 2 - Postdoc 3 - Instructor - Senior Postdoc - Scientist II - Scientific Director - Assistant Professor. And you know what? That’s ok. AMA ;)

In college I was a congressional intern. Seeing how white Capitol Hill was (except for the service workers) inspired “The Last Plantation”. I discuss with Jim Saska (@saksappeal) how unequal staff representation subverts democracy and how to fix it. rollcall.com/2024/05/29/con…

When I think of these situations, I think about the need to maintain clear lines for youth so as not to confuse them on safe and unsafe touch. By eroding their sense of physical boundaries, I think we can inadvertently make them susceptible to situations that can harm them.

I’m deeply affected when I think of society’s many ways of short changing and robbing youth of their childhoods. Schools should work to enhance & fulfill childhood. In addition to educating, it takes radical intentionality to protect youth from society’s harm in its many forms.

It never ceases to amaze me the nooks and crannies that inequality will find. Adrienne Jones, Ph.D. I always appreciate work like yours that compels us to contend with understudied areas of inequality and the following outcomes

Happy to share that I am joining the faculty at Harvard University! I’ve accepted a TT position as an Assistant Professor in Studies of Women, Gender, & Sexuality and I start this fall on a fellowship. I’m so thrilled to continue my work on Togolese women’s history at Harvard.

I’m grateful for this feature and honored to join the Sanford and Duke community to further study how we can use education to drive equity, justice, and social progress.

Excited to share my op-ed on California's legacy admissions ban, discussing how this shifting standard moves the goalposts for upwardly mobile Black families. #HigherEd #EducationalEquity #LegacyAdmissions chronicle.com/article/how-th…
