UAW 4811 members have voted by a super majority to authorize a strike.

Many congratulations to my VERY FIRST student to successfully defend her dissertation work on social justice, Leya Breanna Baltaxe-Admony! Really really proud advisor moment. 💜

Thinking about how much knowledge we lose every day from disabled colleagues forcibly pushed out of the academy. How many cool courses, excellent research, and phenomenal colleagues have we lost? How many more do we lose each day? 1/3
