The University of Texas-Austin is beginning a process to eliminate the Black Studies, Latino Studies, and Gender Studies departments in the College of Liberal Arts. This is a grave threat to the educational liberty of students, faculty, staff, and the people of Texas. 1/

Graph of a gender distribution of visitors Sci-Hub and LibGen (shadow libraries for scholarly works). The percentages appear to show massive differences but the differences are miniscule...the creator zoomed in on one specific part of the number line for an unexplained reason.

Literally anything would have been better than this.
Hey dude who grabbed some python code to look into Sci-Hub's uTorrent metadata...I see you.
That is some dedication, my friend.

This way, we can provide the technology needed to spread work-based and work-first approaches to practicum placement that meet students' basic needs
Our data is open for secondary analysis. Please check our work, but most importantly, probe this extremely rich data set that includes many standardized scales of wellbeing from @saragoldrickrab.bsky.social's #RealCollege framework and student-authored indices of impact, exploitation

The Price of Placement (Part 2): Basic Needs and Well-Being of U.S. Social Work Students in Field Practicums is a tough but necessary read.
Example: More students lost weight from food insecurity than received *any* money for hundreds of hours of practicum labor.

Price of Placement (Part 1): Basic Needs and Well-Being of the Invisible Social Work Workforce is a critical and comprehensive review of the social work literature on placement poverty. There *so many* student-authored research studies on this topic in the U.S.
