Why This Essay Could Cause the University of Virginia to Shut Down How Linda McMahon’s latest “compact” would do deep and permanent harm to American higher education

This, from @sivav.bsky.social, is the mic drop reply to the “Compact” you have been waiting for. It won’t, but it should really just end the discussion and deliberations straight up. newrepublic.com/article/2013...

Had a really beautiful weekend in Maine this weekend for the wedding of a close friend. But lord all the travel in each travel really took it out of me.

Posted another bit of the book. This time talking about how cultures of intellectualism deny the ways in which academic labor affects the teaching body.

This is tomorrow! Tuesday, October 7th online. Free and open to the public. Come check out Anouk Lang talking about poetry, #DHMakes, process, and more.

look it's me 🤗

ICYMI I posted a historical view of the Praxis Program's funding structure that was described elsewhere as "extremely wonky but in a very good way."

Now we’re talking

tomorrow at @scholarslab.bsky.social we will be talking about setting reasonable expectations for teaching people to read (not write) code - a meta discussion for my in-person workshop here on reading python for beginners next week

Oh geez that is so upsetting!

*Student does a thing*

Me: oh wow I didn't know you could do that.

Student: ……………you were the one that taught me that.

Not me ranting about the Montessori method to all my coworkers and students

God sending solidarity and care. Let us know how we can help support you?

This will be an essential resource, and my hope is that it makes it easier for academics who are called to public scholarship as a way to fight the encroaching darkness.

I’m on @wtjuradio.bsky.social for the jazz marathon with @zorakc2c.bsky.social and @homedepotofficial.bsky.social spinning tunes about family. You can check it out and donate at wtju.net

Please join us for this virtual talk by Anouk Lang on 10/7!

It's a bit in the weeds but hopefully useful to other admin types navigating how to do the best for students that they can in the current climate.

Posted to the blog some institutional memory about the changes that have been made to the Praxis Fellowship's funding structure over the years as it was experienced by students. walshbr.com/blog/histori...

For reallll going to be thinking about it for a while.

Rolled credits on Clair Obscur during nap time earlier and phew…an incredibly effective game on every level.

Black pot simmering on stove with chana masala inside

Making chana masala while the grandparents chase the toddler around the house. #DHCooks

It was so great! Sorry I had to leave but so happy to hear more from you.

What a fantastic 1h we had today! Thanks to all the friends that gathered to chat pedagogical practices around process or, rather, on making students more conscious about their learning/research processes 🫶
