I really want ppl w/o Minneapolis connections to understand
You might've heard that Mpls public schools went hybrid bc so many families are in hiding. Well, a coworker just told me that today, during his kid's hybrid class, a kid's apt building was raided onscreen

✍️ In grad school, @courtneyboen.bsky.social and I talked often about the emotions that seemed to undergird racism. Trayvon, Tamir, Mike Brown and too many more changed us. Ten years later, our findings in @sfjournal.bsky.social: academic.oup.com/sf/advance-a...

My article, "Stops: How Race, Space, and Policing Shapes Who is Human and Who is Not” is published! I theorize "stops" as moments when the category of human is contested and reified through racialized policing. Precursor to my "Punitive Inertia" article: journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...
No, I haven't! Let me go watch it! Thank you for the suggestion. I'll keep you posted. What is it about?
Thank you so much, Alicia! I appreciate you! ❤️
doi.org/10.1093/socp... - the article is open access now! I want to thank Eric Piza and Amy Lewontin for helping to make this happen!
Policing shapes who is human and who is not. Check it out
I'm grateful for the feature!
My work was featured in Northeastern Global New - "Policing is about more than law enforcement, researcher says, it’s about who gets to be human"

I'm thankful for the feature! @nusccj.bsky.social
The brilliant @ranitaray1.bsky.social has a new book out. Her first informed my own work so much, and I can’t wait to read this one! Preorder: us.macmillan.com/books/978125...
This is beautiful!
I'm just honored and humbled by this assessment. And the @Pitzer students were great! Shout-out to having a win jar. Just walked away with a new phrase lol
Thank you, fam!

His classroom is at once a
seminar, a workshop, and a brave space for examining the world around us. It prepares students not for the world as it is, but for the world as it must be made. His pedagogy is iterative without being imprecise, rigorous without being rigid, collaborative without

I just read a statement from a teaching observation of my class that made me get teary-eyed 🙏🏿
Thank you for the invite bro, it was an honor!!
Truly appreciating meeting & conversing w/ dope scholars this academic yr before sabbatical. Thank you again @k-till.bsky.social @dmmurphy.bsky.social for our convos, laughter, & pushing students @ Pitzer to think through complex matters & showcasing young scholars changing things in sociology.
You are literally the GOAT! Thank you for putting us on and allowing the voices of our communities and our scholarship to be heard!
@ranitaray1.bsky.social dropped some heat! Make sure you get your copy! The MacArthur genius, Reuben Jonathan Miller, author of Halfway Home called it "A beautiful and aching book...will change how you think about education."
I'm excited to get my copy. It's going to the top of my list!
Go see Sinners!
I had my students draw an abolitionist world on the board in Feb. One student added me into the world. Today, that same student added that drawing to the end of their final presentation. I'm weak! I love my students! Look at my profile pic and it will make sense lol
