How are you creating belonging on your campus and who is being left out? How are our programs reinforcing a majority system that wasn't built for everyone? #NODAC2018

Thanks @karnellblack for talking about safe and brave spaces - we can not guarantee safety.

Janet Mock telling the truth about her commuter experience. THANK YOU! we don’t all go to college to find community - tho we may discover it. #nodac2018

YES! Mock’s experience of learning communities - no agency, stuck w ppl you didn’t choose. Not a safe space. Doesn’t mean we should abandon approach but love the questioning of who is impacted and how. #nodac2018

Damn. Janet Mock tells the truth - “don’t only place people of color or trans/queer folk in diversity offices” (or “hire for diversity” but then ask everyone to act the same) #NODAC2018

Mock asks, How much unpaid labor is provided by the one/few minoritized faculty or staff? It can be taxing, esp if we’re navigating systems ourselves. Made easier if we have more diverse fac/staff? #NODAC2018

.@karnellblack “Some campuses don’t have LGBT Centers in their campus.” Janet Mock “They don’t have LGBT students on their campus?” #NODAC2018

LGBT centers not just for lgbt students - also place for collab with community, perhaps centering educators who may not have Ed credentials to lead classes #NODAC2018

.@karnellblack What is your definition of liberation? Janet Mock: to live how I want to live and be who I am, walk safely down the street, without commentary in a society that is wanting to shrink who is defined as legitimate #WontBeErased #nodac2018

I love having people from outside Higher ed as keynotes. “Diversity or marginalized, I don’t know what language you all use” “what is otr? What is your work, exactly?” So helpful to remember not everyone speaks higher ed language #nodac2018

“Ally is not a noun it’s a verb. It’s actions you take. Support you give.” Such a great reminder. Janet Mock #NODAC2018

Mock - (student activist calling out a college prez after a lecture) that checked me - I was being used, seen as a checklist for meeting student demands. I was culpable, and am now am more careful in what speaking invitations I accept. #wisdom #NODAC2018

Author discusses her new book about race on campus -- and misconceptions on race on campus ihenow.com/2Aq4MjX - ooh can’t wait to read!

Listening to Mohammed AL Samawi at NODA author luncheon. Amazing!! Can’t wait to read The Fox Hunt and hope my friends who work in colleges consider this text for common read. Amazing speaker - powerful story. NODA #NODAC2018

I’m so excited to attend again this year. Always learn so much about online pedagogy and practice.
