More context for this, since I realized people might not recognize his name. This is this professor. I'm seriously crossing my fingers that it's just some internet assholes social engineering a fraud alert on his tickets and not something much more serious given that "roundtable" that happened today

Queer lenses on history have proven very fruitful, and a trans lens will certainly have plenty to work from.

Seconding what others have said, for sure- prereading exercises are great! Especially if you start with a lot and then gradually let them do more and more on their own. I'm also very fond of the beginning of class prompt or 'quiz' that they don't need to turn in.

It matters that Bill Clinton and Barack Obama both ran on progressive ideals that they ultimately turned their backs on

It matters that Biden had things rigged for him, to undercut more progressive candidates

It matters that Obama didn’t reverse the executive branch power grab that GWB started

Some of those that work forces

Greta Thunberg is there because she knows the world watches her. Don't close your eyes to her now.
